Today, February 15th, is National School Resource Officer Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the very best — Marshal Bradd McMinn. Commerce is blessed to have an SRO who does far more than wear a badge. Marshal McMinn builds relationships with our students, supports our staff, and helps create a safe and positive environment across our campuses every single day. He is a protector, a mentor, a role model, and a friend to so many of our kids. Whether he’s greeting students in the morning, attending school events, or stepping in whenever needed, his presence makes a difference. Marshal McMinn, thank you for your dedication to Commerce Public Schools and to our entire Tiger community. We appreciate your commitment to keeping our schools safe and your heart for our students. We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Quapaw Nation Marshal Service for providing Marshal McMinn to serve our schools. Your partnership and support help ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff every day. Commerce has the best SRO — and we’re proud to call you ours. #NationalSRODay #TigerPride #CommerceProud #WeBleedTigerBlue

Today we officially received the medal from the Southeast High School Basketball Tournament recognizing Haven Ragsdale for being selected to the All-Tournament Team!

Being named All-Tournament is a big deal. It means Haven stood out among some of the best players in the field, representing Commerce with grit, determination, and class.

📣 School Update – Water Situation The boil order remains in effect for the City of Commerce; however, water pressure has improved. This improvement should allow our restrooms to remain functioning at school. Commerce Public Schools will be in session tomorrow, and we are hopeful that the last of our recent school cancellations is now behind us. We will have bottled drinking water available for students and staff. If your family has water available at home, we encourage you to send one or two bottles with your student(s) for the day. Water fountains will remain unavailable while the boil order is in place. We will continue to monitor conditions closely and will communicate promptly if anything changes. Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and continued support.

We have worked hard throughout the day to keep school running; however, we have reached a point where available water is no longer able to keep up with restroom needs. We have made the difficult decision to move to an early release today. Alexander Elementary will release at 1:00 PM. Commerce Middle School and Commerce High School will release at 1:05 PM. Buses will run and bells will ring two hours earlier than our normal schedule for all schools. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through today’s challenges.

Yes, we are having school today. Buses are already out. While water service remains inconsistent this morning, we are doing our best to get a full day in. Thank you to our city crews and school staff for their hard work. We’re looking forward to having our students back in class as we work to create a sense of normalcy. We’ll continue to monitor conditions and share updates if anything changes.
18 days ago, Commerce Public Schools
We have received numerous texts and social media tags regarding water service being back off in town. We are aware of the situation and remain confident in our city crews who are working hard to resolve the issue. If we need to pivot tomorrow’s school plans, a text will be sent to all school contacts, and updates will be posted on our website and social media. If water service is restored by morning, we will be in school tomorrow.

Good news, Tigers! 💙🐯

We’ve received confirmation from the City of Commerce that water pressure has been restored and will continue to steadily improve throughout the evening for all residents. With that update, we are happy to announce that Commerce Public Schools WILL BE BACK IN SESSION on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Bus routes may run slightly slower Friday morning as our drivers take extra precautions. Safety remains the top priority for our students and staff.

While a boil order may still be in effect, our kitchen staff has adjusted operations accordingly. Meals will be served using disposable plates and utensils and will be prepared in a manner that is safe during a boil order.
We do have bottled water available for students and staff at each school; however, if you have water at home, we encourage you to send a bottle or two with your student(s) for the day. Water fountains will remain unavailable while the boil order is in place.

One of our primary concerns—ensuring fully functioning restrooms—has been resolved, allowing us to safely welcome students back to school.

We appreciate our students and staff for their flexibility and resilience during a week filled with unexpected challenges. We look forward to getting back into the classroom, restoring routines, and heading into next week with a sense of normalcy.

Thank you for your continued support. 💙
