Academics. 

Football. 

Golf. 

Class projects. 

It requires a versatile student to not just take part in all of those high school functions, but excel in each of them. 

Cale Reagan was one such student. 

He did it so well, in fact, he was voted the 2026 Kingfi sher High School Student of the Year. 

“To me, this honor belongs to someone who is truly well-rounded,” said Becki Richards, who taught Reagan in AP United States History. 

“And that describes Cale perfectly.” 

The honor is voted on by teachers, principals, counselors and secretaries at KHS. 

To be eligible, students first have to be named Student of the Month. 

Reagan earned that honor in September 2025. 

During his high school career, he was involved in Student Council and Fellowship of Christian Athletes and was inducted into the National Honor Society and Oklahoma Honor Society. 

He played football and golf for four years and basketball for three. 

And he did them well. 

In football, Reagan was named the District 3A-1 Defensive Player of the Year and was tabbed to the Class 3A all-star team and selected to play in the 101 Classic Bowl. 

In golf, Reagan helped KHS advance to the state tournament this year and later won the 101 Classic Bowl golf competition.

He was coached in both of those sports by Reagan Roof.

“Cale is a great example of what every student-athlete should strive to be,” Roof said. “He is a hard worker on and off the field and an outstanding young man.

“I really appreciate how well he represented Kingfisher athletics and our community.”

Roof’s sentiments of Reagan’s character are echoed by several.

He had a way, said a former coach and principal, of spreading his infectious attitude.

“He is smart and funny,” said Colby Connel, who was the assistant principal and boys basketball coach at KHS the last three years. “He excelled in both the classroom and on the fields of play.

“And he brought a healthy amount of light-heartedness to most situations.”

Reagan had a recurring knee injury that hampered him at times in football, cut short his junior season of basketball and affected his decision to not play his senior season.

“I’m proud of the way he battled through adversity with his injuries and football,” Connel said. “As the basketball coach, I wish his body would have held up..

“I would have loved to coach him another year.”

Richards only had Reagan in the classroom.

He provided similar results there.

“This past year, he brought so much laughter, life and joy to our AP U.S. History class,” she said. “He never shies away from a challenge - whether tackling tough academic work or participating in our America’s 250th anniversary broadcast project.” In addition to properly handling his own business, Richards said she also noticed how Reagan would strive to be an example for others.

“He carries himself with exceptional character,” she said. “He is a responsible gentleman who treats everyone with respect and it’s clear these strong values come from a great foundation at home.

“Instead of looking down on underclassmen, he constantly hypes them up and encourages them, both in sports and in class.”

The son of Jason and Carma Reagan who was voted the football homecoming king by his peers, Reagan will attend the University of Oklahoma this fall.

Count Richards among those who expect him to have much success there as well.

“Cale works hard for what he gets, expects nothing to be handed to him and is always incredibly appreciative,” she said. “It was a true honor to have him in class and his recognition is richly deserved.

“He is going to do great things.”
