Calling all Eagles! WE ARE BACK AT SCHOOL! I hope everyone had an amazing summer break and is ready to kick this school year off strong. Welcome to all of our new Eagles and 8th graders to Oakwood Upper School! Last year was my first year at Oakwood and I saw, throughout the year, the Oakwood community develop into an environment that I proudly call my second home. This year, I hope to do the same and welcome all of our new Oakwoodians and make them feel the same as everyone did for me last year. Additionally, I would like to warmly welcome our new Upper School faculty and staff, Ms. Bradley (US English), Mr. Amador (US Spanish), and Mr. Kowalski (US Humanities). Campus security update: The school has implemented a new camera system throughout the hallways of each building and on the exterior of each campus! Please say, “thank you!” to Mrs. Jones and Mr. Crotts for securing the security grant and for helping install the new security equipment. Be on the look out for events such as clubs registration, Picture day on September 22nd, and Fall sports (Girl’s Tennis, Volleyball, Cross Country, and Boy’s Soccer) games, matches, and meets throughout the season! Here is a link to a calendar with all of the school’s events throughout the year: https://www.theoakwoodschool.org/about/calendar?cal_date=2025-08-01. While we had an amazing year last school year, we have so much more to look forward to this year and can’t wait to start!
