Great attendance, OCES!
We had a fantastic turnout for High Attendance Day! Our students had a blast with today’s attendance incentive—and we think Mr. Smith and Mr. Mullins enjoyed it just as much!
A fun day celebrating the importance of showing up and being at school. Way to go, OCES!

Our students are speaking and we are listening!! Recently, both schools installed Suggestion Boxes in the cafeterias. One of the suggestions we have received multiple times is to bring back Strawberry Milk! Be on the lookout for Strawberry Milk at both schools as available!!

Mr. Smith and Mr. Mullins better be ready this afternoon! OCES students are putting their PE skills to work and practicing their aim for today’s Water Balloon the Principals fun!

OCHS sophomores will learn about the Rogers Scholars program on September 29! This exciting opportunity helps students build leadership skills, explore future careers, and prepare for college.

The Food Service Department sent out a Student Satisfaction Survey to gain valuable feedback on our School Lunch Program. Find out what our students like and what Food Service will be looking to replace!
