Oak Ridge JH/HS Weekly Brief

Week 17 is completed! WOW, what a semester! This semester flew by and I could not be more proud of the things we have accomplished as a school! This would not be possible if it were not for our amazing teachers and support staff! Our students did a tremendous job of adjusting to a new principal, overcoming so adversities, and meeting the high expectations set by our faculty and staff! I look forward to an even better 2nd semester! For now, lets all relax and enjoy Christmas and New Years! Each morning I tell the students to do 3 things during morning announcements. So, for the last time in 2023 I am telling all students to; Make Good Choices, Wear Your Seatbelts, and Tell Your Parents You Love Them!!

Thank you all for your hard work this semester and I will see you January 4th!

Oak Ridge is a community with a long standing tradition of taking care of one another. I am no different and sometimes I need help too. You will notice every week I will need help with certain things around the school and I am looking for leaders and students that want to help make a positive impact on Oak Ridge Schools!

1. Respect. I want to make sure we are being respectful to our classmates and our teachers. Please step up and be a leader and ensure we are being respectful to everyone and ALL TIMES!
2. Walk to Lunch. Please make sure you are walking to lunch!
3. Keep your hands to yourself. Students keep your hands and feet to yourself. Horseplay is not allowed.

Oak Ridge High School is now officially registered for the Apprenticeship Program through The United States Department of Labor. This program will allow our students to get a jump start into career fields and trades while still being in high school. Their work hours will also go towards a work certificate that can be provided to them by the U.S. Department of Labor after 2000 hours of on the job learning/working. (While being paid!!) We look forward to expanding this program in the years to come! A huge SHOUTOUT to Mrs. Schroeder for all her handwork and effort to get us here! Thank you Mrs. Schroeder!
