We’re excited to kick off another Summer Conference and can’t wait for what’s still to come. Stay tuned for more highlights throughout the week!

A great story about the lasting impact of community service and the people who help make our neighborhoods special. The Woods family’s dedication as crossing guards touched generations of Oakhurst students and families.

It’s a reminder that strong schools are built not only by educators, but by caring community members who help support and protect students every day.

A family post: Crossing guard family watched over Oakhurst Lesie Brooks retired as a crossing guard after six years, continuing her mother Earnestine’s 17-year legacy at East Lake and Oakview, embodying dedication, community care, and a promise fulfilled.
