The responses are in! At many of our home high schools, ending senior year entailed choosing a "senior quote" to include in the yearbook. This year, The Echo wanted to give the Class of 2018 the opportunity to pick a saying or quote that they feel describes their time at the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics. The result of our endeavor is this article that contains quotes from half of the Class of 2018.
