We are named in honor of  the famous Cherokee Indian, Sequoyah, who was born in Tennessee in 1775. As an adult, he became interested in the written language of the white man.  There was no writing system for the Cherokee language, so in 1809 Sequoyah began developing a system for writing Cherokee words. He worked hard and came up with 86 symbols ,a syllabary, which stood for the sounds spoken in the Cherokee language. By 1821, his syllabary, which he called “talking leaves”, was complete.  Cherokees who could speak the language learned the syllabary quickly and  started using it to publish books and newspapers in their own language.  (See Sequoyah’s picture in our beautiful state capitol by Oklahoma artist Charles Banks Wilson)

Our school mascot is the Cougar, and our colors are purple and silver. Our  students are awesome! Go Cougars!

Our goal is to assist students to make a positive transition from the elementary school, through middle school, and into high school.  During the “middle school” years, the teaching staff will provide educational experiences that will emphasize basic skills in an environment structured to maximize learning.

In addition to academic endeavors, students will have opportunities to make new friends and participate in a variety of age-appropriate activities.

It is our hope that all students will become involved positively in our school and in its activities.  It is also our desire that students will take pride in the school and promote positive feelings.

Take pride in being a “Sequoyah Middle School Cougar.”
