84 ASTEC High School graduates, more than 10,000 hours of community service, and not even enough room on the stage for them all!

Commissioner Maughan was honored to recognize these incredible Students for SHINE graduates this week for their hard work and dedication to making our community a better place. With so many graduates being recognized, we had to take the photo from the audience because they simply could not all fit on stage, what an amazing problem to have!

We could not be more proud of these students and the impact they are making through service to others. Keep shining, ASTEC! ✨

The Students for SHINE graduates at Western Heights last night did over 6500 hours of volunteer service to the community. They were the first school to sign up for the program 15 years ago and have produced more graduates than any other school in the county for the SHINE program. We were honored to have Madison Bryant, the cousin of the late Safari McDoulett, join us on stage to present the cords. Safari created the Students for SHINE program and signed up Western Heights as our first participating school.

One of the best parts of the Students for SHINE program is recognizing students who go above and beyond to serve others and make a positive impact in their communities!

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brian Maughan has the honor of presenting SHINE certificates and cords to students in recognition of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to community service.

We are incredibly proud of all of this year’s participants and the difference they are making in our community. Congratulations to each of you, and keep shining! ⭐

Here is the updated map of our 2026 SHINE Community Gardens! 🌿🍅🫑🥕🪏

The SHINE gardens are open to the public and designed to serve our community. Across the garden sites, a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables are grown, helping provide healthy, clean, and nutritious food to those who need it.

These gardens not only help feed families but also offer hands-on learning opportunities for students and give neighbors the chance to garden, learn, and grow alongside one another. By increasing access to fresh produce, the SHINE gardens support healthier lifestyles while strengthening community connections.

With spring on the way, we invite you to check out a SHINE garden near you and be part of something that helps our community
grow. 🌱

Together, we’re growing more than food, we’re growing knowledge, nourishment, and community! 🙂🥦🍓🥔🫂
