Shout out to Oakcrest Class of 2019 alumna Le'Shelle Reed, who has returned to the Nest this school year to work as a counselor in AtlantiCare's on-campus Teen Center!

Each session is designed to help underclassmen find volunteer opportunities, build a resume, prep for employment interviews, and develop job searching skills. Great job to Le'Shelle, the Teen Center, and every ambitious Falcon in attendance looking to expand their future college and career opportunities! 🎓💙📚

The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District will be operating at regular schedule tomorrow, Wednesday January 28, 2026.

The Greater Egg Harbor Regional High School District will be closed on Tuesday, January 27. Throughout the day we made great efforts to get our buildings prepared, but in consultation with our constituent and sending districts and our local law-enforcement and our transportation providers, there are just too many safety concerns on back roads and in many of our neighborhoods. We recognize and understand that many of the main roads look and are in fact fine, but this district is so expansive and has so many students coming from remote and rural-like areas that we cannot in good conscience put those students and staff in dangerous situations. In addition, temperatures in the teens overnight and into tomorrow morning, give us great concern for the safety and well-being of students walking to and waiting at bus stops. We realize the temperatures will be cold for the week, but believe after talking to other local agencies that there will be continued efforts tomorrow to clean up intersections and some smaller side-street areas. The district fully intends to open Wednesday, January 28.

12th graders in Oakcrest's Biomedical Magnet were recently given the opportunity to visit Cooper University Hospital's Trauma Center, where they were shown how to assess and treat patients in an emergency room setting. A big thanks to all the OHS staff involved in planning this awesome experience! 🚑🩺🩻

Oakcrest's current Biomedical Seniors were recently treated to a visit by some of the program's alumni, who returned to share their experiences studying in college and working in the medical field. A big thanks to all the graduates for shedding some light on what life is like after leaving the Nest! 🩺🥼💙

Last Monday, current and prospective members of Oakcrest's chapter of the National Honor Society attended Stockton University's Annual MLK Day of Service. Participating Falcons had the opportunity to better their community by participating in a number of service projects, including writing greeting cards for first responders and senior citizens, making PB&J sandwiches for the homeless, and sorting, hanging, and folding clothing for local shelters. Shout out to all involved in this important yearly event! 💌🍞👖
