🎉 January is School Board Appreciation Month! 🎉
This month, we celebrate the incredible dedication of school board members who work tirelessly to ensure every student has the best opportunities to succeed. Across Oklahoma, more than 2,500 elected board members serve their communities with vision and commitment.
At CPS, we are proud to recognize our five outstanding board members:
✅ President: Ryan Fankhauser
✅ Vice President: Kyle Blankenship
✅ Secretary: Cody Joiner
✅ Member: Tyler Herriman
✅ Member: Doyle Burress
“Our school board members not only share their time but their vision and voice to shape the direction of Oklahoma public education,” said Superintendent Max Myers.
School board members make tough decisions on complex issues that impact our entire community—and we couldn’t do it without them!
Join us in saying THANK YOU to these leaders for their service and dedication during School Board Recognition Month!

Full Circle Friday Spotlight: Coach McHenry
Why did you choose to come back to work at Coweta Public Schools?
After 21 years at another district, I needed a change, and Coweta Public Schools offered me an opportunity. I felt I could have a positive influence in the classroom and on the football field.
If you could go back in time and give yourself advice, what would it be?
Self-discipline is the best form of discipline. Always control your emotions, and surround yourself with good people who have a positive influence on you.
Who left a legacy for you during your time as a student at CPS?
My parents:
Ron McHenry – Father, Head Football Coach, High School Counselor
Martha McHenry – Mother, Indian Education Tutor/Mentor
