Poteau, OKLAHOMA – Pansy Kidd Middle School is pleased to announce their “Students of the Month” for December 2018.
History of Pansy Kidd Middle School Pansy Kidd Middle School–The name of the school originated back in the early 1900’s.
In 1912 a lady named Pansy Ingle Kidd came to Poteau. She was a graduate of Indiana University with a Masters’ Degree in English and Library Science. Pansy Ingle became a third-grade teacher until 1915 when she married Frank Kidd. Since a regulation of the 1915 school board was not to hire married female teachers, she had to quit teaching. Pansy did not teach again until 1921 when the regulation was finally changed. For 40 years she taught with all her heart, and was called by many, “Dean of Poteau’s Teachers.”
She organized the beginning of the Junior High School. This same school was later named in honor of Mrs. Kidd.
