Oklahoma Union's Darla Fesmire wins Patriot Auto Student of the Year Award
Nathan Thompson
Oklahoma Union High School Senior Darla Fesmire was named the 2025 Patriot Auto Student of the Year Tuesday night during the ninth annual Night of Scholars and Champions at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.
Fesmire has been a student teacher intern who helped out at Oklahoma Union Elementary's third grade class. She's the president of FFA, an active member of 4-H and the National Honor Society.
As the Patriot Auto Student of the Year, Fesmire won a 2025 Hyundai Elantra SEL Sport worth more than $25,000, plus the tag, tax and title were paid. She also received a $1,000 scholarship and a $500 gas card from Phillips 66.
Fesmire says she was shocked by winning and hopes her example will help other students at Oklahoma Union.
Fesmire says she loved her new Hyundai Elantra and was nearly speechless. She will attend Oklahoma State University in the fall, studying either microbiology or animal science.
