NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA — Last week, we told you about four exceptional Delaware students who earned academic all-state honors.
Grove High School Seniors Brecklynn Carnes and Joseph Wang, Colcord's Vince Minard, and Kansas High School Alexa Schwabe were selected out of 100 students from across the state. They will be honored at the 2025 Academic Awards Celebration on May 10 and receive a $1,500 award, an honor cord, and a medallion.
