This week at OCMHS:


We held our district joint leadership meeting tonight where school teams reviewed fall data and created action steps to move students forward. They also reflected on their school goals, identifying strategies to sustain progress as well as areas for improvement. Each team will now take these ideas back to their schools to gather additional input from staff.





It was an honor to host the Owsley County Retired Teachers meeting at Owsley County Elementary School. It is always a privilege to be with those great teachers who made lasting impacts in our community.




Our Literacy/Family Night with Goodnight Goose ended in creativity as families painted their own porch goose. Thanks to PRI school coordinator, Felecia Pittman, and to Oneida McIntosh for leading the session.
