Do you recognize this Oakcrest Class of 2009 graduate? It's OHS guidance counselor, Educational Support Professional of the Year, and soon-to-be guidance supervisor Ashley Perone (née Benton)!
After her departure from the Nest, Ashley attended Stockton University, where she studied Psychology and Digital Literacy. After her graduation from Stockton in 2013, Ms. Perone earned her Masters in Education in School Counseling from Wilmington University in 2016.

Oakcrest is lucky to have such a dedicated alumna on staff! Shout out to Ms. Perone, who bleeds blue and gray! 💙💙💙

🦋 On Friday, April 17, Oakcrest and Absegami met on the OHS turf. The intra-district match-up was a Morgan's Message Dedication Game, at which both Falcons and Braves pledged to shine a light on the unseen battles athletes face. The Morgan's Message organization was founded in 2019 after the tragic death of Morgan Rodgers, a Duke University student athlete who struggled with her mental health. Morgan's family and former teammates now work to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health. Before the game, the Lady Falcons and Braves promised to check in on their teammates and to reach out when in need of help and support themselves.
🏆 On 4/28, Junior Madison Carland broke the single game scoring record, netting 10 goals! Also, Sophomore Bridget Guerrier has scored her 100th goal!
🥍 With an 11-3 record, this the Falcons' best season since 2014. They take on Middle Township today. A win could mean they're co-champions of their division, so come out to the turf and show them some love!

Members of the Oakcrest Knitting Club, advised by Ms. Chiappini, recently journeyed to Philadelphia for a trip to the famed Reading Terminal Market. The group then checked out Otherworld, an immersive experience that allows visitors to explore countless rooms of large-scale interactive art, mixed reality playgrounds, and secret passageways. All in attendance had a blast enjoying new and different cuisines...and then visiting what felt like another planet! 🪐😎🚀

In mid-April, the Nest got a LITTLE more heart healthy: 12th graders enrolled in Oakcrest's Biomed Magnet took the National Healthcare Association's EKG Certification Exam. Oak had its highest passing rate in years, with 14 acing the test, thus earning the title of Certified EKG Technician. Props to all the Falcons who took this wonderful step in their healthcare journey! 🫀⚡🩺
Ms. Demark's and Mr. Santolla's Environmental Science classes were recently visited by a Watershed Ambassador from NJ's Department of Environmental Resources. The students analyzed water samples from the Greater Egg Harbor River and identified various macroinvertebrates (AKA bugs! 🪲🪳🔬) that indicate a healthy waterway.
To promote safe driving in the community, senior Da’von Hannah partnered with the Oakcrest High School Safe Roads Coalition to design a banner promoting driver safety and awareness behind the wheel. His banner can be seen at the main entrance of Oakcrest as well as at town hall in Mays Landing.
Exactly one month ago, the Oakcrest High School Academic Team took home the 2nd place trophy at the Nest's annual Brain Brawl. The group, comprised of Juniors Evanna Pham and Lucas Dodson and Seniors Bryanna-Faith Bennett and Matthew Poblete, outperformed 14 other area high schools to earn silver!

ICYMI, the Oakcrest Jazz Ambassadors have seen a ton of success in recent weeks! In late March, the band traveled to Somerville High School to compete in its annual jazz festival. The Ambassadors took home 1st place and also won awards for Best Trumpet, Saxophone, and Rhythm Section. Senior Joseph El received an Outstanding Soloist Award!
The group followed up that amazing performance with a much shorter trip to Kingsway Regional High School to compete at THEIR jazz festival. Once again, the Ambassadors were on point, bringing home a Gold Rating and the Best Rhythm Section award. Senior Soleil Wright received an Honorable Mention for her solo, and Joseph El earned a 2nd Outstanding Soloist Award.
The Ambassadors look to take home their 3rd straight title at Saturday's TIA Jazz Championships at Lawrence High School this Saturday! Break a leg, Falcons!
