Assistant Superintendent of the Year

   District 16 of the Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA) is composed of 23 school districts which surround Interstate Highway 35 from Newcastle in the north to the Texas border in the south. In the nine years that Gayle Castle has been employed by Blanchard Public Schools, she has been named the OASA District Assistant Superintendent of the Year seven times- a record for District 16, and maybe the entire state. The reason for these multiple honors is really very simple - Mrs. Castle always keeps the students at the forefront of importance in her work for our school. In addition to her honors as a top-notch assistant superintendent, Gayle Castle has also been inducted into the Blanchard Education Foundation's Hall of Fame - as a stalwart contributor to our students' education. The Blanchard Public School district is very lucky to have an administrator such as Gayle Castle, as she is the number one reason for the success that our school has enjoyed over the last several years. We hope she stays for several more years...
