OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Rick West, R-Heavener, today congratulated two local students who recently were selected to the All Oklahoma Academic Team.
Michelle Dean and Kylah Colwell attend Carl Albert State College. West last week attended a student award ceremony in the House Chamber and issued a legislative citation honoring the two.
“What a great accomplishment for these two young ladies to be chosen to represent our state on the All Oklahoma Academic Team,” West said. “Their academic knowledge coupled with their hard work and dedication makes us all proud. With future leaders like this, our state is in good hands.”
The Oklahoma Council of Two-Year College Presidents and the Oklahoma Association of Community Colleges recognize Oklahoma’s brightest two-year college students each year through the All-Oklahoma/USA Coca Cola Academic Team.
The All-Oklahoma Academic Team provides statewide recognition to outstanding two-year college students. Students from the 39 participating states nominated to the All-USA Academic Team are named to the All-State Academic Teams. Ranking on the All-State Academic Teams is generally determined by the student’s score in the national competition. To be eligible, students must be nominated by their college to the All-USA Academic Team. Nominees must be eligible to graduate during the 2023 academic year and hold a minimum of a 3.50 cumulative grade point average out of a possible 4.0 on all college-level coursework completed in the past five years. The State Academic Teams were introduced in 1994 to provide scholastic recognition to community college students, while promoting excellence at two- year colleges.
- Rick West serves District 3 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. His district includes part of LeFlore County.
