Continuing to Impress

Old Brook High School’s nail tech, healthcare, and construction programs, housed at their Day Drive location, continue to impress. In their 1st year, Old Brook’s eight nail tech students were the first drop-out recovery students in Ohio to pass their state boards; the program maintained its 100% pass rate in 2023 when five more students passed. Healthcare boasts the same impressive statistic: every student who has tested with the National Healthcareer Association has passed, earning 37 credentials to date. The construction program, which is partnered with Stearns Homestead, has awarded dozens of OSHA-10, NCCER Core, and pre-apprenticeship certificates. Oakmont Education’s VP of Career and Technical Education, Dr. Jerry Farley adds these certifications give graduates an edge in securing jobs that pay a sustainable living wage. “I don't know of any other program that helps place our graduates into jobs and stays in their life for one full year to help them succeed.” To learn more about Old Brook High School’s education opportunities, visit www.oldbrookparma.org.
