Congratulations to Coffey Lambird Collier of Bishop McGuinness High School and Krish Kalpesh Patel of Casady School on being named 2025 U.S. Presidential Scholars! Out of 3.9 million high school graduates nationwide, only 161 students received this honor. Your dedication, excellence, and hard work have made Oklahoma proud. We look forward to all you will achieve in the years ahead!

Turning Point USA has made it possible for any student to start one of their TPUSA Club America high school chapters, giving students across the country the opportunity to organize, lead, and advocate for American values in their schools.

We will continue to give Oklahoma students the tools they need to succeed in schools, in their careers, and in life.

Yesterday, it was announced Supt. Walters will be investing 3,000,000 dollars in high-impact tutoring programs across Oklahoma, designed to accelerate student learning and literacy in both Urban and Rural districts. We will continue to deliver on the commitment made to student centered education reform .

A moment of silence will never be enough.
