Ocean Springs Upper Elementary School

We’re getting closer to our goal, but we still need your help! 🌍✨

As part of our Rise UP: Celebrating Every Culture… Every Story theme, we are working to transform our campus into a vibrant multicultural learning environment that celebrates diversity, inspires curiosity, and helps every student feel seen, valued, and connected to the world around them.

Our school is currently undergoing construction, and with your support through DonorsChoose, we can create welcoming spaces filled with meaningful cultural displays, decorations, and learning experiences that bring our vision to life.

We’re asking our amazing community to “RiseUP” with us and make a contribution—big or small, every donation makes a difference and helps us move closer to our goal!

Together, we can create a school environment where every culture is celebrated and every story matters.

Our 4th graders wrapped up an amazing school year with the ultimate day of fun in the sun! ☀️🎉 Students spent the day outdoors bouncing, sliding, and laughing their way through inflatable fun provided by Jumpin’ The Coast. What a perfect way to celebrate all of their hard work, growth, and accomplishments this year!

Get a yearbook while they last!

Yesterday was a special day at The Up as we welcomed OSHS seniors for our annual Senior Walk Through! 🎓💙

Our hallways were filled with cheers, signs, smiles, and lots of memories as students celebrated the graduating seniors and their accomplishments. Teachers were especially excited to reconnect with former students, sharing hugs, congratulations, and words of encouragement as they prepare for their next chapter.

Seeing these seniors walk the halls once again was a powerful reminder to our younger students that hard work, growth, and perseverance lead to great things. We are so proud of each and every senior and can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the future!

Congratulations, Class of 2026!
