Congrats!

Please join me in thanking and celebrating Mrs. Julie Reuther- Nestler for she is Oceanside's Volunteer of the Year!!! Julie is the President of the Fins Club, and through her efforts and leadership the Fins Club has had a very busy year!
In early August Julie and the Fins Club organized our season kick off event at Park West that involved multiple food trucks, Landshark gear sales, and 2 bands. This event drew hundreds from the community and was a great way to kick off the 2019-2020 athletic season!
Just this past February Fins Club held their 2nd annual Oceanside Oyster Roast at the Rusty Rudder. Julie and her team arranged all the details including oyster knife sales, silent auction, live auction and the cooking of oysters and chili! A good time was had by all that attended, and the event netted over $30,000 in proceeds to help in Oceanside’s capital campaign.
Julie also worked with Michael Bronco in order to design and fund the building of a beautiful custom cabinet to display our ever-growing collection of trophies!

Thank you for all that you do for Oceanside Collegiate Academy!

Oceanside remembers Green as 'the toughest shark in the tank'

“Truth is, there weren’t many like Green.” #NateStrong

postandcourier.com I met Nate Green at a basketball game.

Please join me in congratulating Shae Baldwin for she's Oceanside's Student of the Year for 2019-2020!!!

I’ve read and heard the following phrase quite often…something like “don’t expect to see a change if you don’t make one.” Oceanside’s Student of the Year for 2020 lives by that motto. She is a leader in the classroom, on our fields and in her community.
Shae is in 10th grade and ranked on the top 10% of her class! She will finish her tenth-grade year with 12 college credits as well as 5 high school credits.
#22 plays club soccer, practices four nights a week as well as travels most weekends all over the nation playing soccer tournaments. Most importantly though...she plays center defense for our varsity soccer team! Shae was a freshman playing varsity last year when our girls soccer team made it all the way to the state championship in Columbia.
She is a member of our National Honor Society, tutors fellow students and baby sits when time allows.
Prior to our current situation, if you ever wanted to find Shae on a Friday night, she would most likely have been on the sidelines during our football games working as a student trainer. She is not sure about where she'll attend college, but it sounds as though The Citadel might get super lucky in a few years…or Utah might become an even better place in a couple of years! After college she is thinking of working as either a nurse, a 7th grade teacher (I've already offered her a job if she switches to high school) or a pharmacist like her dad.
Just when you thought Shae could not get any cooler...she punted the ball and dressed out with our football team for a couple of games this year which all super enjoyed…well maybe Mama Baldwin did not enjoy so much!
WE ARE SO HAPPY SHE CHOSE TO BE A SHARK!!
Congratulations Shae!!!!!
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

We are pleased to announce the newest addition to our football coaching staff, KC Crosby! Coach Crosby comes to us after a successful playing career with the University of SC Gamecocks.

Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Jenny West Cassell...Math Teacher, Student Council Sponsor, New Family Liaison and last but not least: (my favorite way of describing her) The heart of Oceanside... for she is Oceanside's Teacher of the Year!!
Words cannot describe what Mrs. Cassell has meant for this school. Since day one, she has created events, organized and improved student activities, encouraged students, communicated with parents,and loved all her students.

Families fall in love with her during their initial school tour to only fall even deeper if they are lucky to be in her class the following year.
She is loved by all and she loves all.
So please share your love for the Heart of Oceanside,
Mrs. Jenny Cassell!!
