OKLAHOMA CITY (Dec. 19, 2024) — KIPP OKC Public Schools has unveiled an exciting new rebrand for its elementary and middle schools, which will launch next school year. The elementary school, which will expand to serve PreK-4th grades, will be called KIPP OKC: Rise Elementary. The middle school, which serves 5th-8th grade, will be called KIPP OKC: Soar College Prep.

“We have a new vision for the future of our charter schools,” said KIPP OKC Public Schools Superintendent Michael Carter. “Updating the school names and logos was an essential part of communicating this exciting new direction to our current and future students and their families where the whole child is the focus of our school, not just academics.”

KIPP OKC: Rise Elementary features bold yellow and blue with a rising star motif to demonstrate how the school helps young students reach for the stars. The KIPP OKC: Soar College Prep logo includes nurturing shades of green and blue with a bird in flight to symbolize a supportive educational environment that helps students soar toward success.

“Even though it’ll be a few more months before we start using the new school names and logos, we’re already starting the enrollment process for next year,” said Carter. “We want families to know about this change and get excited, too.”

KIPP OKC Public Schools District operates two free charter schools in east Oklahoma City, primarily serving students of color. The 2025-2026 school year will serve PreK-5th and 7th-8th grades. To learn more about enrolling, visit kippok.org/kipp-okc.
