History

The school district originated as a set of schools based solely in Midwest City, which consisted of prefabricated hutments with five teachers and 125 students. It originally included four schools, two of which were precursors to Sooner Elementary School and Soldier Creek Elementary School. A total of 1,250 students were enrolled in the second year of the school system. The first permanent school building was dedicated in 1944, after two years of using temporary buildings. It cost $314,000 and was funded through the Lanham Act and Federal Works Agency. The building today houses Jarman Middle School. Oscar Rose was an early superintendent of the school district and the namesake for Midwest City's community college, Rose State. In 2024 Rick Cobb, the superintendent of Mid-Del, accused Ryan Walters, the

, of engaging in defamation against his school district by accusing the district of not properly spending funding from the federal government. Cobb made his statement at a meeting of the Oklahoma State Board of Education.
