OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence has named 100 public high school seniors from across Oklahoma as Academic All-State honorees for 2025.
The All-State class features students from 67 schools in 62 school districts. Each All-Stater will receive a $1,500 award, an honor cord and a medallion.
OFE will honor the Academic All-State class at the 2025 Academic Awards Celebration on Saturday, May 10, at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. Registration for the event is open at OFE.org; admission costs $75.
The foundation encourages honorees to invite a teacher who has strongly impacted their academic success. OFE will recognize these educators alongside their students during the ceremony.
“These 100 students serve as a powerful example of academic excellence in Oklahoma’s public schools,” OFE Executive Director Elizabeth Inbody said. “By celebrating the All-State class and their educators, we reinforce the importance of public education in Oklahoma.”
Since the program launched in 1987, OFE has recognized 3,901 Academic All-State students from 342 school districts.
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.
To be eligible to apply, students must meet one of three criteria: an ACT composite score of at least 30; a combined SAT evidence-based reading & writing and math score of at least 1370; or be selected as a National Merit Semifinalist.
The selection committee evaluates applicants through a rigorous process based on academic achievement, leadership and community service, as well as letters of recommendation and an essay. Retired educator Jan McClaren chairs the committee, which is made up of a diverse group of business, education and civic leaders along with past honorees. The committee works independently of other foundation activities.
The 2025 All-Staters scored an average of 33 on the ACT, with 12 scoring a perfect score of 36. Their average weighted GPA is 4.36, and 34 are National Merit Semifinalists.
Founded in 1985, OFE is a statewide nonprofit dedicated to recognizing and encouraging academic excellence in Oklahoma’s public schools. Through its flagship Academic Awards Program, the foundation presents $175,000 annually to honor outstanding public school students and educators.
