The OC

The OC The OC opened in the Fall of 2023. Keith Bell Opportunity Central is a Forney Independent School District initiative.

Forney ISD's Keith Bell Opportunity Central (the OC) is an imaginative, creative, one-of-a-kind idea that will transform the way schools and communities educate future generations. Part career and college center, multi-purpose complex, student-run business hub, fine arts theater and so much more, it’s designed to create new opportunities for everyone in the Forney Family. Students can take career

classes, complete college courses, and learn entrepreneurship by running their own companies. Local businesses can partner with Forney ISD to educate tomorrow’s future workforce and build community connections. Everyone can compete and perform in our state-of-the-art event spaces. Members of the community can attend fine arts shows, take classes, join recreation leagues and visit locally-owned shops and restaurants. The opportunities are endless – and it all starts now.
