Justin Walter and Sarah Ray earn High-Performing Academic Honors

Class of 2023 Valedictorian: Justin Walter!

Justin graduated with the highest academic GPA in the Class of 2023: 4.606! He is a National Merit Commended Scholar, a Brother Bernadine Honors Scholar, a member of the State Championship Academic Bowl team, on the Drumline and a member of the National Honors Society.


Justin worked extensively in the North Tulsa Learning Center this year. According to his teacher Ms. Bendel: “He is patient, kind, and encouraging in a way that does not make younger students feel that he is holding himself superior to them.” He's also been called a "math genius." Last year in his APEL class, Justin gave an argument on why to use half angle formulas to solve Trigonometric functions.


He was accepted at The University of Tulsa, Rose Hulman Institute of Technology and Rhodes College. He will be attending The University of Tulsa in the Fall.
