Message from Mrs. Durso

Hello Wolf Pack! 

We've returned from Spring Break and have had a very busy week already! 

Celebration of Completion Ceremony

Oak Hill Ribbon Cutting Ceremony - Staff cutting a ribbon that says "Building Our Future"

 

Oak Hill celebrated the completion of our renovation yesterday. We were appreciative of all the support we received from the community, our superintendent Dr. Reid, Scott Eschback, Director of the Office of Design & Construction, Rebecca Baenig, Region 5 Assistant Superintendent, and Region 5 Executive Principals, Chad Lehman and Gordon Stokes. A special thank you to the Chief Experience & Engagement Office for helping to facilitate a wonderful celebration. Honestly, our 2nd graders were the star of the show! Thank you to Mrs. Peterson and the 2nd grade teachers for supporting such a wonderful performance.
