TulsaPeople is proud to present our annual Education Profiles, a special sponsored editorial section that gives readers a look into several education options all the way from pre-K to college 📚✨

Pictured is Miss Helen's Private School, which was founded in 1954 by “Miss Helen” Wingo as she recognized a gap in education that overlooked children’s academic, social and emotional needs.

Education at Miss Helen’s fosters a lifelong love of learning — prioritizing core subjects, including reading and math, while cultivating generations of poised communicators with strong social skills. Now in its 73rd year, the school continues to challenge the norms of early childhood education with a devotion to excellence.

Worth the drive 🧳

If you’re in need of a change of scenery, nothing beats the magic of a road trip. Being centrally located within the U.S., Tulsa is driving distance from several exciting destinations — many of which will kick off a lineup of festivals and family-friendly activities this fall.

Just two hours away by car, Bentonville is far enough from Tulsa for a change in scenery without requiring days of travel preparation. Known as the birthplace of Walmart, the fast-growing city is chock full of history, leisure and outdoor recreation.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is one of Bentonville’s main attractions, showcasing an expansive collection comprising five centuries of American art. Best of all, admission to the permanent collection is free.

From Nov. 6-7, The Momentary becomes the site of the Momentous Music and Arts Festival, featuring performances from electronic duo Sofi Tukker, rapper Channel Tres and other up-and-coming acts.

The Insight School of Oklahoma — a statewide online public school serving grades 6-12 — offers much more than just the convenience of accessing an education wherever there’s Wi-Fi.

For students like Yanieliz Albarran, who was seeking a nontraditional option to finish her education, ISOK offers a pathway to hope.

“I was raising my two children, working full time and trying to build a better future for my family,” says Albarran, who graduated from ISOK earlier this year. “It gave me the flexibility and support I needed to keep going, even when life was challenging. Earning my diploma showed me, and hopefully others, that your circumstances don’t define your future.”

Since 2014, Insight School of Oklahoma has been on a mission to help every student find their path to success.

By offering individualized support, flexible pacing and credit-recovery options, ISOK is designed to keep all learners — including students at risk of dropping out, facing health challenges or dealing with other complicating life circumstances — on track to graduation.

This fall, when Stacy Leeds walks across The University of Tulsa campus among the waves of excited freshmen decked out in blue and gold, she won’t just be stepping into the president’s office; the university’s new leader will also be adding a chapter to her family’s history with the institution 💙

Her brother Scott was the first person in her family to attend college, and he earned his undergraduate degree from TU. Leeds followed in his footsteps, joining the Golden Hurricane community while pursuing her Juris Doctor, studying Native American Law and Energy and Natural Resources Law.

As Leeds begins her first year in a position of leadership on campus, her son will also be on campus pursuing his undergraduate studies — further cementing Leeds’ connection with the university.

While her appointment to this role marks a full-circle homecoming, it also marks a historic milestone for the college itself. Leeds is the first permanent female president in The University of Tulsa’s 132-year history, and the second alum to hold the position.

This summer, we had the chance to speak with President Leeds about her plans for TU's future, AI on campus, new programs, the state of higher education and more.
