Oakwood School District encourages our communities to celebrate Principal Appreciation Week October 16-22, 2022, and Principal Appreciation Day on Thursday, October 20, 2022.
I am so thankful for the compassionate and high quality of servant leadership that Mr. Odle, Mr. Shelton, Ms. Lapenas, Mrs. Acton, and Mrs. Burton provide for our students and staff.
On October 20th please join me in celebrating Principal Appreciation Day and take this opportunity to publicly recognize the work, commitment, and importance of our principals and assistant principals.
We invite all teachers, students, parents, and community members to perform some act of appreciation the week of October 16-22 to acknowledge the leadership of our building administrators.
For the O! Superintendent Maynard

Thank you to our amazing Custodial Team, Mr. John Sudlow, Mr. Tim Lee, Unit Office Staff, Administrative Team, and especially the OHS Football Team and Coaches who volunteered to load and unload our trucks today...these young men were amazing and displayed what it means to serve this community and school district!
