Athletic Director

Oklahoma City Public Schools

Tanner has transformed the district’s athletics social media presence into one of the most dynamic, student-centered platforms in the region, ensuring that every kid in OKC Schools feels seen, valued, and celebrated. His work has reshaped how the district tells its story—consistently highlighting student-athletes of the month, sharing recognition from external organizations, and showcasing the achievements of students and coaches across every sport.

In one of the most diverse districts in the state, Tanner has built a digital community that authentically reflects that diversity. Through gameday posts, game-of-the-week features, and creative multimedia coverage, he ensures that every team, campus, and group of students has a voice. His work strengthens district pride, brings communities together, and amplifies moments big and small that define the OKC athletic experience.

Tanner’s leadership extends well beyond social media. He has built the district’s digital footprint almost single-handedly, taking on responsibilities far above his job description to ensure OKC Schools stand out. His commitment to celebrating others—coaches, athletes, teams, and families—creates an atmosphere of support and belonging that resonates across the community.

Even outside his official role, Tanner steps in wherever students need him. When a school was unable to find a golf coach, he took on the responsibility himself, demonstrating his willingness to serve, lead, and put kids first in every situation.
