Regent Senior Class of 2020
The Class of 2020 is Regent's largest graduating class to date. These 36 individuals have blessed our school throughout their years at Regent with their unique personalities and God-given talents. Collectively they have an average ACT score of 28 (which surpasses the latest national average by 9 points). Sixteen of these students are Oklahoma Academic Scholars (3.7 unweighted GPA and 27+ on the ACT or 1200+ on the SAT) and three are National Merit Finalists. They helped build our music, band, and theatre programs with their fine arts talents during their tenure at the School of Rhetoric. This group of students has been a part of seven state team or individual titles (academic and athletic) and 10 state runner-up finishes. Six of these athletes have signed to play their respective sport in college. While their accomplishments are significant, the character and leadership they have displayed have made an even deeper impact.
The seniors at Regent, like those throughout our nation, have had a surprising twist to these final months of their senior year. While we grieve with them and with their families, over the loss of several of the special memories they are not able to celebrate, we also pay tribute to this remarkably resilient and strong-willed group of students that God has placed at Regent "for such a time as this.” We hope to celebrate you and your Regent careers in the coming days! Congratulations!
We love you Senior Class of 2020!
