Opelika City Schools

Our OCS teachers, media specialists, and coaches are leveling up! 💻✨ This week, they completed ClearTouch training and earned their ClearTouch credential. Next school year, they’ll bring what they learned back to their schools to help staff make the most of our classroom technology. Way to go, team! 👏

☀️ Free summer meals begin today, Tuesday, June 2!

Opelika City Schools will provide free meals for children and teens 18 years old and younger this summer at Opelika High School. Meals will be served Monday through Thursday from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. from June 2 through July 16.
