Oakcrest High School

Congrats to the Oakcrest Biomedical Magnet Juniors who participated in the Nest's recent White Coat Ceremony. In early October, these 11th graders were formally presented with their first white coat, a symbol of their commitment to enter the healthcare profession. Props to all involved for their hard work and dedication! 🥼🩺💙

Spooky Season is upon us, and several OHS organizations were out in force this weekend volunteering at the Hamilton Township PTA's Trunk or Treat event. Members of the NHS, Field Hockey and Girls Soccer teams, and the GEHR Education Association gave out thousands of pieces of candy to local kids AND had a great time donning their costumes, decorating their trunks, and interacting with the community! 🎃🍫💙

Oakcrest's Math Club was back at it this week, making 155 sandwiches to donate to area residents struggling with food insecurity. Thanks to all the participating students and staff for giving back to the community! 🍇🍞🥜

On Sunday, the Oakcrest Marching Ambassadors competed in the annual Tournament of Bands Region 1 Championships. They successfully defended their title from last year, earning a score of 89.8 and sweeping the specialty categories of High Music, High Visual, High Percussion, and High Auxiliary. This is the Ambassadors' 10th STRAIGHT Region 1 Championship, which is TOB's longest current winning streak and 2nd longest in Region 1 history!

This weekend, the group travels to Toms River for States! Falcon Nation sends them our congratulations, love, and support! 💙🏆🎷🥁🎶

With the help of Oakcrest's Freshman Transition Program Ambassadors, the Nest's 9th graders recently celebrated NJ's annual Week of Respect by collaborating to create a pledge that promotes treating others with dignity. They then shared, linked, and displayed their ideas at the front of the building. 🫶🔗💙

On October 17th, students and staff came together for a group photo on the football field dressed in pink to show their support in raising awareness for breast cancer and treatment. Additionally, staff participated in a denim day to raise funds to be donated to the MetaVivor Metastatic research foundation.

Last week, members of the Nest's chapter of the National Honor Society were out in the community, volunteering at the Shaner School and Hess Educational Complex. These Falcons spent the day at their old stomping grounds hanging out with preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade students. Props to all involved in this great organization! 🎃🛝💙

Last weekend, Falcon Nation enthusiastically hosted visiting future OHS students at the Nest's annual Open House. Many thanks to all the staff members and current students who put their best foot forward to welcome a new Flock to Oakcrest High School! 💙🫶💙

The Oakcrest Marching Ambassadors are off to another great start this season, winning their first two competitions, which took place at Washington Township and West Deptford.

Come out and support this talented bunch of Falcons! 🎷🥁🎶🏆

Last weekend, members of the Oakcrest Drama Program and the OHS Choraliers performed live onstage with 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Foreigner. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity made even more special by the show being lead singer Kelly Hansen’s final performance with the band! A big thank you to @foreignerlive live for giving this group of Falcons a chance to show off their talent to over 4,000 audience members! 🎤👏🎶

Parents who attended Oakcrest's recent Back to School Night were in for a treat, as many of the Nest's teachers prepared fun, hands-on activities to demo day-to-day life as a Falcon. Ms. Bock, OHS art teacher, had visiting guardians show off their artistic talents by making ink drawings! ✒️🎨💙

Last month, the Nest hosted one of its most important events, the biannual Athletic Wall of Fame Induction.

Falcon Nation congratulates and thanks you all! 💙👏💙👏
