The school district was established on February 23, 1894. The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture stated it was "apparently the first in Grant County". [4]
In 1919 a one story school building with 17 classrooms opened. [5]
In 1950, voters approved a bond, on a 181-59 basis, for the district to issue bonds to establish a school bus service. Previously, the district did not have any school buses. [6] There had been parents at a school board meeting who had requested school buses. [7]
In 1960 a bond election occurred for a building that would replace the 1919 facility. The voters voted in favor of the bond. The new school building was to have a cost of $330,000, with $285,000 of it to be raised from the bond. [8]
In 2011, the Wakita school district, which was facing a decreasing population, consolidated into the Medford district. The Medford district was to have a seven seat school board instead of a five seat school board, and it was expected to receive 40 more students. [9]
