Honors
Tulsa Public High School Named is his honor.
For the service and performance exhibited by McLain in his military career, the Tulsa Public Schools built and honored General McLain, by opening Raymond S. McLain Senior High School, in September, 1959. In the years that followed its opening, many relatives, friends and descendants of General McLain attended school assemblies and honored him. After almost 50 years of graduating many young adults who have achieved similar excellence in their own lives from McLain, today McLain High School now serves the community in an Occupational Job program role. Which again parallels the pragmatic views of General McLain.
On May 22 & 23, 2009, General McLain and the McLain High School graduates of the first three classes came together for a joint class reunion and honored General McLain and the schools' 50 year birthday. The event was held in Tulsa, OK.
