Launch the media gallery 1 playerBased on their academic achievements, extracurricular activities and community involvement, Broken Arrow High School seniors Kurt Lemai-Nguyen, Abigail McNabb and Brady Read are the recipients of the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence Academic All-State Award. This prestigious honor is given to the top 100 public high school seniors from 77 schools in 69 Oklahoma school districts.
“Broken Arrow High School is proud to have three Academic All-Staters this year,” Broken Arrow High School College and Career Counselor Kristin Carr said. “Being chosen as one of only 100 students in the state of Oklahoma is an impressive accomplishment, and it is so exciting to get to celebrate these successes with our students.”
The 2021 Academic All-State class is the 35th to be chosen by the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence since its establishment in 1987.
David L. Boren, chairman and founder of the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, describes the selection of the scholars as “Oklahoma’s most rigorous academic competition.” To be nominated, students must meet one of the following criteria: an ACT composite score of at least 30, an SAT combined critical reading and math score of at least 1370, or selected as a semifinalist for a National Merit, National Achievement or National Hispanic Scholarship.
Each All-Stater receives a $1,000 merit-based scholarship and a medallion, and will be recognized at an awards banquet this spring.
