In 1901 a group of people from Spencer County, Indiana relocated in Oklahoma. They built an elevator and mill, a grocery store and later a hardware store. They named their new town Spencer for their old home and eventually called their school Spencer as well. Star School (in a nearby area) was named by Henry Dodd in honor of a school in Kansas where he had lived previously. Two schools merged to become Star Spencer in 1956.
Notable alumnus include Mr. Myron Jacobs and Mr. Daniel Peoples. Alumni also include Dr. Lahoma Hicks Schultz, noted psychologist, author and lecturer.The football stadium (Carl Twidwell Stadium) was named after Carl Twidwell, athletic director, football coach, and vice principal.
