“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision, the ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. Simply stated, it is less me and more WE.” We are Oiler Nation! We work every day to be better than the last. Teamwork is the fuel that will help us achieve our goals during this high school journey. We will work to help our students discover their gifts and attain remarkable results. The school year has gotten off to a great start. I hope everyone has had the opportunity to enjoy a night at The Rig or a game in the Pressure Pit. Come out and sway with the band or sing with the choir. Don’t forget to take a trip down the yellow brick road with our theater. Schedule a visit to a classroom and watch our Oilers hard at work. We ask our students to engage and get involved in their high school; we invite our Oiler Community to do the same. This is our school and together we will continue to make it a place of Pride, Honor, and Success. Thanks and Go Oilers, Larry Berger
