Message from Principal Welcome back, students!

I hope you had a relaxing summer and that your excitement for the year ahead is growing. Even though we've only been back in school for a few weeks, I trust you've had the chance to catch up with friends, share stories, and rekindle the spirit of togetherness that makes our school special.

At Oak Grove, our philosophy is centered around fostering a sense of belonging and the unwavering belief that every student can achieve remarkable success. Throughout this year, I encourage you to grasp every opportunity that comes your way. Be it in academics, sports, or engaging in our diverse array of clubs and after school ASSETs programs, remember that you are part of a community that celebrates individuality and supports collective growth.

It is also important to remember that high school is not just about academics, but also about personal growth and development. Embrace challenges, show empathy, and be leaders in your own right. Our school community thrives when each of you shines. Our dedicated faculty and staff are here to support you at every step. Feel free to reach out to them for guidance, advice, or simply a friendly chat. We are not just a school; we are a family united by a shared purpose – your success.

Let's work together to make this year exceptional. Let's create an environment where curiosity thrives, teamwork flourishes, and lasting memories are made. I am excited to witness your achievements, both big and small.

Here's to a fantastic year!

Mrs. Brazil Principal

WELCOME CLASS OF 2027

Written by Senior Class Vice President

The Class of 2024 started the school year off with a Senior Sunrise on July 29, 2023.

Students got up before the break of dawn to spend time with each other, catch up before the new school year, and watch the sunrise. Donuts, apple juice, and orange juice were there for the seniors to enjoy. There were photo opportunities, music, and many chances to enjoy themselves. Seniors will have many more events like this to look forward to throughout the year. The class of 2024 is excited to start and experience their very last year on campus.

From going to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, in what now feels like yesterday, seniors are feeling the nervousness and excitement of being the “top dawgs” on campus. Seniors have so much to look forward to such as applying for college (insert groans), and just growing up!! “ It was really neat to see a huge amount of seniors come out to celebrate the start of the school year with each other!” Khristian said, on the topic of the Sunrise. Now that the class of 2024 are seniors, it’s inevitable that they will make it the best year they possibly can.

Club Day Club Day is going to happen on Friday, August 18th! During this event, clubs will feature a tri-fold at the hill, featuring flyers and decorations made by past or present club members! In these stands, elected club members will showcase a display board featuring their club's purpose and upcoming events! At these stands, students will have the opportunity to join these clubs, either as a member or as potential board candidates!

Social clubs such as Key Club, Interact, and ARK are mighty popular with students due to their opportunities to district-wide meetups! While cultural clubs such as BSU, VSU, and FSU will feature spectacular performances and classes featuring their culture, especially with VSU's upcoming school-wide culture show.

Also, the Eagle's Eye will feature a stand during this club rush! As a journalism club, we are in charge of the school's newspaper.

We make illustrations, articles, and announcements about exciting upcoming school events. If you are interested in joining our club, we are looking for recruits, especially to fill in our spots for our club board. So please let us know on our Instagram @oghsjournalism, and have a great time at Club Day!

Tennis Tennis Written by Oak Grove Tennis Led by co-captains, Mailan Vuong and Jay Nguyen, Oak Grove Girl's Tennis had a successful year winning a total of __ matches.

Starting this term, Coach Mari is planning to host a scrimmage with YBHS and will host their first official game on Thursday, September 14 against Ann Sobrato. Make sure to wish them luck! Additionally, the seniors are looking forward to their senior night on Thursday, October 19 where we will be bidding farewell to 5 senior eagles this year. Our games are every Tuesday and Thursday at 4 pm, so make sure to come & support at the tennis courts in the student parking lot!
