Cheyenne Butcher

"I decided to nominate her because she gave me an outlet for my emotions and so much more. She goes above and beyond not only for me, but for every single one of her students. She cares so much about what she does because to her it is more than a job." -Patrick Campbell, OSAI student

Olivia East

Anadarko High School

Visual Arts Teacher

"Mrs. East has always been one of my biggest supporters through my time in her AP class. She gives very detailed comments of my work to help me improve. She also keeps me on track when I have deadlines to meet or scholarships to apply for. Anytime she hears about a contest or a way I can have my art seen, she tells me immediately and will make sure it can happen for me." -Makeyla Pewenofkit, OSAI student

Lynn Herbel

Moore High School

Vocal Music Teacher

"I never sang until a couple months ago, when I sang during the musical. Mrs. Herbel started trying to get me into choir. She let me audition for All-State and I made it, and she’s changed the course of my life because now I want to go to college to get a degree in music education. I’ve become a better person and feel much more mentally free and able now." -Utah Baggett, OSAI student
