Just a peek around the district this week. Proud of the hard work happening across our schools.

Our Meet the Team series continues with our middle and high school science teachers at OCMHS, who inspire curiosity, spark discovery, and bring science to life every day.

FYI

Paul Bunyan, Babe & SRO Hudson are ready for Flapjacks, Fairy Tales & Folk Tales today in 2nd!

20 Cross Country runners qualified for their jersey and their first race this Saturday at Montgomery County. Good luck to our Owls as they open the season!

Our “Meet the Team” series continues with our 3rd grade teachers! This group works hard every day to challenge, encourage, and support students as they grow academically and socially.

The Fair is Coming!

Recognizing Kindergarten in our Meet the Team series! We’re proud of the way they nurture, guide, and inspire our youngest learners every day.

Lady Owls v. Lady Tigers

This week at OCMHS:

Join us as we introduce the dedicated teachers and staff who make up our school community in our Meet Our Team series.

OCMS Lady Owls took on Hazard today in the Breathitt Panorama. The 5/6 team pulled out a win 11-10, while the 7th grade fell to a talented 8th grade team. The Lady Owls next game will be at Wolfe County, August 26th.

Our first week of school has been a success! From classrooms to cafeterias, buses to hallways, every member of our school family has played a part in starting the year off right.

Thanks to last year’s Gear Up Grant and Mrs. Haley Sandlin, all of our OCMHS math and science classes now have new white board tables. Students can use them to demonstrate their learning in an engaging and interactive way.

This is an excellent article on the history of Owsley County Schools. Longtime Owsley County Educator, Mrs. Betty (Bowman) Gabbard gathered the documentation and shared this document with The Three Forks of the Kentucky River Historical Association.
