Description
The former Thackerville School in Thackerville, Oklahoma was constructed as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. Today, three buildings exist on the campus; however, none of them bear resemblance to other WPA school buildings in southern Oklahoma (although at least one source asserts otherwise). A modest ‘memorial’ to the old school building, which features its shield-shaped WPA plaque, can be found in front of the current high school on U.S. 77.
