Enid board honors spotlight students, All‑State nominees and ROTC’s ‘Exceeds standards’ rating
Summary
The board recognized Glenwood and Emerson spotlight students, listed vocal All‑State nominees and presented three Enid High seniors nominated for Oklahoma Academic All‑State; Sergeant Michael Nelson said the ROTC unit earned an 'Exceeds standards' assessment and highlighted a $200,000 naval scholarship winner.
The Enid Public Schools Board of Education opened its meeting with student recognitions, spotlighting Brooklyn Lobaugh of Glenwood Elementary and Omar Zendejas of Emerson Middle School.
Brooklyn Lobaugh, introduced by Miss Owens as the Glenwood spotlight student, described school involvement that includes archery, honor choir and the Glenwood leadership team and said she enjoys giving back to the Enid community through projects such as building a community blessing box. "Most of all, I'm grateful for my loving and supportive family," Lobaugh said.
Emerson Middle School’s Omar Zendejas, introduced by Miss Heathman, told the board his time in middle school has involved growth through teachers and peers and preparation for high school.
Music staff recognized a slate of vocal All‑State students and promoted an upcoming concert. The board then heard nominations from Enid High School for three seniors eligible for the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence Academic All‑State award: Lawton Evans, Lila Brown and Annabel Hamilton. Mr. Liddell said each met eligibility by ACT scores of 30 or higher and cited their academic and extracurricular accomplishments.
The board also recognized the ROTC program. Sergeant Michael Nelson reported the unit received an "Exceeds standards" rating on a unit assessment and said the corps has grown to 107 cadets. He highlighted corps commander Cheyenne Stuff Beam’s $200,000 naval scholarship as a notable achievement.
All recognitions were ceremonial; no board action was required.
