We were thrilled to welcome Miss Oklahoma 2025, Tessa Dorrell, to our school last week! Tessa, a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a degree in Sports Media, was crowned the 91st Miss Oklahoma after competing against 39 other talented young women this past June. She shared her passion for community service and her initiative, Partners Club: Empowering Special Education in Oklahoma, which connects students with and without special needs to build empathy, understanding, and inclusive friendships. Thank you, Tessa, for encouraging our students to lead with heart, embrace their unique talents, and make a difference in their communities! 💛✨
