Do my aunt and uncle have to have guardianship of me?
I'm moving in with my aunt and uncle by this summer in Oklahoma while my parents stay in Texas. I read online that the high school I will be enrolling in needs some kind of court papers so my aunt and uncle can be my guardians, but am I able to attend the high school even if my parents are still my guardians and they let me live in a different state? I'm almost 18 which is why I don't want to go through court and all that since I'll be a legal adult.

Yes, they do. They have no authority to sign you up for school, to sign any permission slips for school events, to consent to your medical care, or anything else, unless they are declared your guardians.

You keep asking this. Until you turn 18 only the courts can make them your legal guardian. You cannot do this without your parents going to court and signing over guardianship
Once you are 18 you no longer have a legal guardian as you are an adult. So once you turn 18 you say you are an adult and do not have a legal guardian. But until your 18th birthday only the courts can assign guardianship if your parents want to transfer guardianship to another relative
Once you turn 18 you tell the school you are independent and do not have a guardian as you are an adult.

Yes they need to be your guardians to enroll you in high school. Establishing guardianship is very simple. A lawyer should be able to draw up the papers pretty quickly. High school does not care you are "almost 18". You either are 18 or over or you are not. You are not.
