Our Newest Magnet Schools:
Tulsa Public Schools received a $12 million federal grant to create quality, interest-based magnet programs in four high schools.
These new and revamped magnet schools feature a variety of environments designed to cater to students' interests and strengths. Central, McLain, Hale and Webster high schools will use revolutionary programs that challenge and inspire students to prepare for exciting, successful careers.
TPS' unprecedented commitment to its new magnet schools means a greater investment in each student, smaller class sizes and a more diverse student population. For Oklahoma's District of Choice, it's all about helping students achieve their full potential.
Applications to these four schools are accepted all year round.
- Central High School - Fine and Performing Arts
- Hale High School - Restaurant, Lodging, and Health Management
- McLain High School - Scientific and Technological Utilization
- Webster High School - Broadcasting and Digital Media

Magnet Programs:
Q: What’s the difference between a Magnet School and a Magnet Program?
A: A magnet school provides a specialized learning environment for students who have strengths and interests in a particular discipline or career. Students follow an individualized curriculum that prepares them for a career or postsecondary options while giving them hands-on learning opportunities in subjects that attract and engage their interests.
Magnet programs operate just like magnet schools, but are specialized programs within a school. Only students who elect to enroll in the magnet component are immersed in the program. Students are accepted to most TPS magnet programs based upon specific criteria.
