Regent Senior Class of 2021
The gregarious and fun-loving Class of 2021 comprised of 28 diversely talented individuals has blessed our school throughout their years at Regent with their unique personalities and God-given talents. Collectively they have an average ACT score of 27.1 (which surpasses the latest national average by 7.5 points). Thirteen of these students are Oklahoma Academic Scholars (3.7 unweighted GPA and 27+ on the ACT or 1200+ on the SAT) and one achieved the high honor of being a National Merit Scholar. 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 numerous state team or individual titles (academic and athletic) and 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. We look forward to celebrating this group of seniors and their Regent careers in the coming days! Congratulations!
We love you Senior Class of 2021!
