• Complete 22 units for graduation which consist of at least: 4 units of English, 3 units of Math, 3 units of Science, and 3 units of Social Studies.

• Achieve a composite of 27 on the Act or 1180 combined score on the SAT. The ACT or SAT must have been taken on a national test date before the date of graduation.

Students recognized as Oklahoma Academic Scholars receive a certificate of recognition, a gold sear affixed to their diploma, and the honor recorded on the official transcript. At the State Superintendent’s celebration they will receive an Oklahoma Academic Scholar lapel pin.
