"Broken Arrow...where everyone is both a teacher and a learner."
Built in 1968, Broken Arrow Elementary School sits on eight acres of land adjacent to South Junior High School and Broken Arrow Park in south central Lawrence. The United States Bureau of Indian Affairs donated the land through the Haskell Institute (now Haskell Indian Nations University). The school's name, Broken Arrow, is considered a sign of peace and was suggested to honor the Native American background of the land.
Did You Know? In addition to earning the Kansas Governor's Award for outstanding student achievement in 2008-09, Broken Arrow Elementary was a 2009-10 National Blue Ribbon School!
New for 2011-12: To improve traffic flow, we have changed our procedures for entering and exiting the campuses of Broken Arrow Elementary and South Middle Schools. (See map. ) Broken Arrow’s new entrance/exit is located at the north end of the Broken Arrow parking lot. South’s entrance/exit will remain at the south end of the South Middle School campus. An exit-only lane is located between the two school parking lots. We have placed directional signs on our campuses to assist motorists and to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
