Hominy Public Schools is a public school district headquartered in Hominy, Oklahoma.

History

[edit]

In 2001 the Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages Affairs of the United States Department of Education gave a five year grant to the district for bilingual programs. The district used the Osage language as its bilingual language; the usage of Osage in the county was the main factor in why the Osage County Interlocal Cooperative's evaluator and grant writer chose that language as the district's bilingual language.[2]
