At Sand Springs Public Schools, we take great pride in recognizing individuals who go above and beyond to make a difference in our school community. Each month, the Sand Springs Board of Education honors outstanding faculty, staff, students, and patrons who exemplify excellence, dedication, and the true Sandite spirit. This month, we are thrilled to highlight the recipients of the Sandite Pacesetter Award and the Sandite Spirit Award.

Trystan Brown, Rafi Huff, and Bailey Osborne

All-State Choir

Trystan Brown and Bailey Osborne have shown incredible dedication to their musical talents, earning spots in the prestigious Junior High All-State Choir. This accomplishment reflects their hard work, talent, and perseverance, as selection requires passing three rounds of competitive auditions.

Rafi Huff’s achievement extends beyond being selected for the High School All-State Choir—he was also chosen to perform a solo in one of the All-State songs. This honor speaks volumes about Rafi’s vocal talent and dedication to his craft.
