Forty delegates from across the state competed for the title of Miss Oklahoma 2025. Tessa Dorrell, Miss Broken Arrow, was crowned the winner on June 7 at the Rose State Performing Arts Center in Midwest City. Tessa Dorrell becomes the 91st Miss Oklahoma, receives a $30,000 cash scholarship to further her education, and will represent Oklahoma in the Miss America Competition. Dorrell is a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a BS in Sports Media.
For the talent competition, Dorrell performed a monologue, “Walking in My Shoes.” Her Community Service Initiative is Partners Club: Empowering Special Education in Oklahoma. The purpose of Partners Club is to enable one-on-one learning opportunities pairing students with special needs with a peer volunteer. Dorrell says, “Partners Club fosters empathy and understanding among all students. By bridging the gap between students with and without disabilities, we can cultivate an environment of mutual respect and learning, leading to a deeper understanding of the value of diversity in education.”
The Miss Oklahoma Organization is proud to offer more than $2,000,000 in scholarships to contestants each year statewide. Throughout the Miss Oklahoma Competition, contestants compete in interview, talent, health and fitness, and evening wear, while demonstrating how they are uniquely qualified for the job of Miss Oklahoma.
