Recently, advisors Kevin Costello and Jason Thomas along with the student leaders from the Oakcrest Safe Roads Coalition traveled to the Hess School to share their campaign and safe roads message with students in 5th grade classes.

Falcon Nation would like to give a HUGE shout-out to the soon-to-be-opened Black Horse Pike location of famed drive-thru coffee shop 7 Brew, which helped Oakcrest's staff get a much-needed caffeine fix when they dropped off some utterly delicious iced beverages earlier this week! Be sure to check out their EHT location, which is opening soon! ☕🧊🚗

The Oakcrest Boys' Tennis team had a blast during their recent visit to Princeton University. The group received a tour of the campus's state-of-the-art tennis facilities and then enjoyed some top-notch collegiate sports. Fewer than 2 weeks until the start of the high school season...and Falcon Nation expects big things from this bunch of student athletes! 🎾💙💪
In early March, Oakcrest's Girls' Basketball had the opportunity to attend the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Oakcrest High School continues its participation in the NexTrex Recycling Challenge, collecting plastic packaging around campus.
