Rocket Report🚀

Congratulations to our very own Rockets, Caroline Avery (1st Place) and Caralynn Rollheiser (2nd Place), for their outstanding achievements in the Port Clinton Elks Lodge #1718 Americanism Essay Contest!

Through their thoughtful essays, both students did an incredible job expressing what patriotism means to them, sharing their appreciation for our country and the values that make it special! Both students will advance to the Elks Northwest Ohio District Competition.

We are so proud of these talented young writers for representing Oak Harbor with excellence! Best of luck at the next level!

On October 22nd, the halls and classrooms of Oak Harbor High School grew quiet as our students and staff stepped outside to honor the life and service of fallen Clay Township Police Sergeant Jacob Roesler.

As the solemn procession passed by, the overwhelming show of respect and support was both humbling and deeply moving. It was a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who dedicate their lives to protecting others.

We are incredibly proud of our students, who stood together with such remarkable dignity, respect, and reverence. In a moment when words could never be enough, their quiet presence spoke volumes.

To Sergeant Roesler's family, fellow officers, and all who knew and loved him, the entire B-C-S community extends our deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice, Sergeant Roesler. May you rest in peace.

Our Rockets continue to excel, and we couldn't be prouder!

Earning 4.5 stars on the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's School Report Card is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence shown by our incredible B-C-S staff and students each and every day!

To show our appreciation and celebrate this outstanding achievement, the B-C-S Board of Education and district administration treated our staff to a well-deserved (and delicious!) surprise!

The Dirty Pour rolled in to serve up some sweet treats, giving each staff member a specialty drink of their choice!

A HUGE thank you to The Dirty Pour for helping us celebrate in such a fun and delicious way, and an even BIGGER thank you to our amazing staff for everything you do for our students, schools, and community!

Continued Excellence. Well-Deserved Recognition.

Until next year, ghouls and goblins… stay spooky, Rockets!

Our K–6 Rockets (and staff!) had a fang-tastic time celebrating Halloween on October 30th! From staff teaming up for some hilariously creative group costumes to classrooms filled with creepy-cute crafts, ghoulish games, prizes, and sweet treats, there was no shortage of Halloween magic!

The fun didn't stop there! Our little ghosts, goblins, superheroes, and everything in between took their Halloween spirit to the streets for a spooktacular parade through town! The costumes were creative, the smiles were contagious, and the Rocket spirit was BOO-ming!

A HUGE thank you to our teachers, staff, families, and community for making the day such a treat! 🍬No tricks here… just another unforgettable day of being a Rocket!

Mrs. Williams’ kindergarten and first grade PE classes put their cooperation skills to work this week with a spooky game of Fly Ghost, Fly!

It was a fun way to practice teamwork, movement, and a whole lot of Halloween spirit!

There's a mystery unfolding in Mrs. Binger's 1st grade classroom!

Things got a little spooky in Mrs. DeVito's 5th grade science classroom! This week's Scientist of the Week brought in dry ice to create a Halloween-inspired experiment, using a little soap around the edge of a bottle to form an impressive carbon dioxide bubble!

Each student has the opportunity to sign up as Scientist of the Week, where they get to put on a lab coat, take center stage on Friday, and conduct an experiment for their classmates! Afterward, they explain the science behind their experiment. What a fun way to spark curiosity, build confidence, and bring science to life!
