Oregon City School District 62 Bond

🚧 Shovels in the ground at John McLoughlin Elementary!

This morning, we broke ground on the renovation work made possible by our 2025 bond. From better acoustics to improved cafeteria space, these upgrades will make a real difference for JME students and staff for many years ahead. Thank you to our community for making this possible. The best is yet to come! 🏫✨

🎉 Big day at Holcomb Elementary!

This morning, we broke ground at Holcomb Elementary for our phase 2 bond projects— and we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead.

Holcomb Elementary's current building has served Oregon City families since 1966. Sixty years later, it's time for a refresh — and thanks to the 2025 Bond, Holcomb is getting safety and security enhancements, essential infrastructure updates including new roofs, plumbing, flooring, windows, electrical systems, and HVAC, accessibility improvements, and updated classrooms and learning spaces.

Bremik Construction was selected as the construction manager/general contractor for the Holcomb project, and we're happy to partner with a team that shares our commitment to our students and the community.

This is a Phase 2 project under the 2025 Bond — made possible because Oregon City voters said yes to investing in our schools. 🏗️💛

Construction will soon be underway, and we can't wait to show you what's coming. Follow along for updates at ocschoolbond.org, or our 2025 Bond's social media channels!

Last night, the Candy Lane Elementary community broke ground on their 2025 Bond projects that will repair and update their aging school building.

Before the school's end-of-year learning celebration, families heard from Superintendent Dr. Dayle Spitzer and our Bond Director David Hobbs about what's coming next. Then students and families signed their names onto boards that will be placed inside the walls of the new building — a time capsule sealed into the structure itself.

Thank you to the families who came out, the staff who made it happen, and the voters who said yes to investing in our schools.

We received 11 proposals for our phase 3 CM/GCs on Tuesday! As reminder, our phase 3 schools are Beavercreek Elementary, Gaffney Lane Elementary, and Redland Elementary. We will be working through scoring them, interviewing, and making selections in the upcoming weeks and we look forward to announcing who was selected. Thank you to all those who applied!

Did you tune in to our board meeting on Monday and hear our 2025 Bond Updates? No? No worries! You can watch those updates right here: https://youtu.be/cR4xuc2Welc!

On Monday, we cut the ribbon at OCHS's newly turfed multipurpose field. 🎉
The field at Oregon City High School is officially open — and it is awesome! Our outdoor learning spaces are are now able to be used year round (and without large puddles of standing water. or ducks!)

This project is part of the 2025 Bond, a investment our community made together in the future of our students and schools. And today, you can see exactly what that investment looks like: a beautiful, functional space where our students will practice, compete, and learn for years to come.
