A new principal at McAlester High School is a familiar face from the district.
McAlester Public Schools Board of Education members voted Monday to approve the hire of Krista Curley as high school principal.
âThank you all for this opportunity,â Curley told board members during the meeting. I m very excited for this new role.
Curley was serving as the assistant principal at Puterbaugh Middle School for the past two years. She replaces Mendy Tubbs, who resigned this academic year due to personal reasons. I m excited for her, MPS Superintendent Randy Hughes said. She s got a lot of energy and a lot of excitement and I think she s going to do a great job.

Officials plan to host the McAlester High School prom event this year after having to adjust last spring during the COVID-19 pandemic.
MHS Principal Mendy Tubbs said prom is normally set for the last Saturday in April, which is April 24 this year, and will go on as normal â as long as the district s COVID-19 cases do not rise again.
