District staff launched the new school year on Wednesday with an incredible keynote speaker, Mister Brown from The Choose Well Program at the Clay High School auditorium.
After an energizing opening day presentation to all staff, Mister Brown visited each of our 7 buildings to share the inspiring message about making connections and building deep relationships. His message directly ties into our district focus "Together We Are One".
"When you make better choices, you live a better life. So Choose Well. Oh Yeah!" 🎯 - Mister Brown
A powerful reminder that our relationships with each other, our students, and our parents are the heart of everything we do. 💚💛💚
We are incredibly excited to get this school year underway, and our staff cannot wait to see our buildings come alive when the students arrive over the next few days. Bring on the new school year! 🍎🏫✏️🖍️📚
OCS would like to thank PBF Energy Toledo Refining Company for their Education Grant through the Oregon Schools Foundation to help make Mister Brown's visit possible. We appreciate your dedication to education immensely.

This summer four Clay seniors completed the American Legion’s Buckeye Boys and Girls State programs!
The one week endeavor is a hands-on, simulated local and state government camp. Girls from across Ohio gathered at Bowling Green State University while boys attended Miami University. A social time and reports ceremony was held for our students at the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post on August 20th.
We would like to commend these students and thank the Christ Dunberger American Legion Post for supporting our students.

Our teachers kicked off their first day back this morning with an annual tradition, Clay Band marching in and filling the morning with music! 🎶🦅 The warm welcome set the tone for an exciting year ahead.
There’s something powerful about gathering together as a team. The energy, excitement and anticipation for our students were felt throughout the room!
A special thank-you to our guest speaker, Mister Brown for helping inspire and motivate our staff as we begin another school year!
From there, our team broke off into sessions at each building to prepare, collaborate and get ready to welcome our students back. 📚💚Here’s to a great year ahead!
We are ready
We are excited
We are a team
We are a community
and TOGETHER WE ARE ONE! 💚🦅🎶👏

Help us welcome back our school resource officers from the Oregon Ohio Police Division, along with some new faces joining the team! 💙
Our SROs are an important part of creating safe, supportive, and welcoming schools for our students, staff and families. Their presence helps strengthen relationships throughout our school community, provide an added layer of safety, and serve as a trusted resource when our schools need them most.
Please join us in giving all of our school resource officers a warm welcome and wishing them a safe and successful school year!
