Academic All-Staters

2025 Academic All-Staters

Congratulations to Oklahoma’s 2025 Academic All-Staters! These 100 top public high school seniors, selected from hundreds of nominations statewide, hail from 67 schools in 62 Oklahoma school districts.

The 2025 Academic All-State class is the 39th to be selected by the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence. Since the program’s inception in 1987, 3,901 high school seniors from 342 school districts have been named Academic All-State scholars. Six schools — the most since 2012 — are celebrating their first All-Stater this year: Alex High School, Dove Science Academy of Oklahoma City, Epic Charter Schools, Colcord High School, Fort Supply High School and Kiefer High School.

This year’s class scored an average of 33 on the ACT, with 12 honorees scoring a perfect 36. The students’ weighted average GPA was 4.36. Thirty-four are National Merit Semifinalists.

Each of the All-Staters received a $1,500 merit-based cash award, honor cord and a medallion. The All-Staters will be recognized at the 39th annual Academic Awards Celebration on May 10, 2025, at the Oklahoma City Convention Center.
