High School Senior Essay Contest
Our Senior Essay Contest was established in 1966 to provide our graduating students an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion on current events. This contest is open to any senior currently enrolled in an Oklahoma Public School. Local 1st through 5th place winners receive a certificate. State winners 1st through 15th place receive a certificate and a cash prize, and the funds are for the winners to spend as they wish! The school of the 1st place state winner also receives a cash prize!
Each year, a new topic is selected that will truly challenge the seniors to think about the impacts of culture on our everyday lives. By engaging students in this writing exercise, we hope they will demonstrate proficiency in expressing observations, thoughts, and conclusions logically and professionally.
2025 - 2026 contest information will be shared soon!
