At this week's School Board meeting, graduating student board representative Josiah Villano was recognized for his contributions to the Oak Harbor Public Schools through guidance and advocacy for student voice. Additionally, Oak Harbor High School teacher Zac Sawhill was recognized for being selected as a 2024 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow and students named as Champions of Diversity through Skagit Valley College and Washington’s public universities were recognized for their achievement.
Congratulations to Oak Harbor High School Senior Vanessa Cisco for winning the Washington Association of School Administrators Award at the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) annual Superintendent’s High School Art Show! Vanessa’s piece is titled “Natsu no Owari” which means "End of Summer." It was inspired by the Japanese culture of writing postal cards during the holidays.
Thank you to OHHS art teacher Kit Christopherson for support our award-winning art students, and thank you to our #OneOakHarbor community for supporting arts in our schools through levy funding.
In recognition of her dedication to traffic safety, community sterwardship and leadership, Oak Harbor Intermediate School student Karijalena Johnstone was chosen to be inducted into the 2024 AAA School Safety Patrol Hall of Fame.
“Karijalena goes above and beyond the call of duty. She follows the procedures for watching for traffic, using her flag, and in the crossing of pedestrians in a timely manner,” said School Safety Patrol Advisor, Kris Bishop, in a media release with AAA. “Besides initiating training and recruiting new members, Karijalena will advocate for wearing rain gear for additional safety and visibility, even when her team members may grumble.”
