Since 2011, Rogers has been the district’s flagship early college academy. Our school focuses not only on helping students get into college but also preparing them to successfully graduate with a degree. All junior high students are enrolled in either Mastering the Middle Grades, a specialized class focused on helping students cultivate the self-regulatory skills necessary for college and career success, or athletics. In addition, students select another elective, such as art, drama, band, orchestra, chorus, Spanish, Russian, French, German, PE, or technology.

All students at Will Rogers must apply to be accepted to Grade 7 and then again apply in Grade 8 to be accepted to Grade 9. Good grades and an above-average reading score are considered. The window to apply for acceptance for 2020-21 is December 9, 2019 through January 31, 2020.

Junior High students have the opportunity to take several classes in Grade 8 for High School credit, including Algebra I, Drama, Art, languages, and technology.

At Rogers, we celebrate diversity and value multiple languages. Junior High students are a member of one of two “teams” per grade level. The 125 students on a team share the five common content teachers, traveling together through the day as a community. Named the 7^th Grade Blue and Golds Teams and the 8^th Grade Blue and Gold Teams, these communities are a source of pride and support for our students and teachers.

In addition to academics, languages, and the arts, after school clubs, our many community partners, and Our 21st Century Grant partner provides our students with numerous opportunities to be engaged in after-school activities at no cost to their families. Currently, these groups include: Academic Bowl, Baila Tulsa, Camp Fire Pride, Chef Club, City Year Tutoring, Crime Scene Investigation, Debate and Drama, Gardening, Girls’ Club, Hip-Hop Dance, Poetry, STEM, Stop Motion Animation, Tech Club, and Yarn Club.
