Tevis Hillis

Tevis Hillis anchors the weekend morning news and is proud to be an Oklahoma native from Lawton. She joined News 9 after graduating in 2020 and quickly progressed from Multimedia Journalist to Anchor within two years. 

Inspired by the strong women in her community who used their voices for change, Tevis entered the pageant world, earning the titles of Miss Lawton’s Outstanding Teen in 2015 and Miss Lawton in 2019. 

She attended the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma, hosting Sooner Sports Pad—the only nationally televised show produced on a college campus—and was a reporter and anchor for OU Nightly. During her time at OU, Tevis also served as president of her sorority.

Passionate about shaping the future of journalism, Tevis now serves as Executive Producer and adjunct professor for OU Nightly, mentoring and teaching more than 160 students.

She has also gained diverse newsroom experience through internships at KSWO in Lawton and KSL in Salt Lake City, where she flew in helicopters to cover breaking news and worked alongside award-winning journalists.

In her downtime, Tevis enjoys needlepointing and cheering on her Sooners.
