- Description:
- The Executive Committee of Home Missions began their work at Durant, initially focusing on the education of Native American students. The school grew over the years, eventually becoming The Oklahoma Presbyterian College for Girls. The campus now includes two brick buildings, a library, swimming pool, and other amenities. Despite facing debts in the past, the school has managed to pay off most of the principal and interest. The school has received financial support from the Native American community, who are now in need of assistance more than ever.
