2025 Bond Update! Spring Break Brought More Progress! 🔨

Our bond-funded projects are moving forward across our district.

At Holcomb, careful abatement work was completed over spring break—an important step in preparing for construction. Meanwhile, permits are advancing for John McLoughlin, and CTE expansion work at OCHS is moving into early procurement.

Last weekend, on March 7th, 2026, in Corvallis, Oregon, BENJAMIN MURRAY NAGEL, “Benny”, was inducted into the Oregon Animal Hall of Fame by the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association, for his Outstanding Professional Service as an Emotional Support Animal.
Dr Lynn Healy, DVM, presented the award to Benny and talked about how he has supported so many students (and staff), especially after the epidemic when things were a little tough for everybody.
Benny is a 7 1/2 yr old Goldendoodle, and has been certified as an Emotional Support Animal since 2020. He has gone to work with Mrs. Nagel every day since being certified.
We are so proud of you, Benny!!

Growth doesn’t happen all at once.
 It happens day by day.

Here in OCSD62, we believe each and every student is worth it. We believe they can do it! Our passion and purpose are rooted in helping students learn, grow, and thrive. And research shows what we see every day: attendance matters.

Even one missed day means missed learning, missed connections, and missed confidence-building moments.

We’re Here for It.

We’re here for their questions.

We’re here for their hard days.

We’re here for their future.

If getting to school is hard right now — reach out. Our school teams are here to provide support for your student!
