Our OC community once again showed what it means to come together! From OCES to MBMS, families, staff, and volunteers created a safe, welcoming space for our kids to enjoy the fun of trick-or-treating while celebrating learning and connection. #WEareOC #RebelPride

While it may not have been the outcome we wanted, I am still very proud of our OCHS Cheerleaders and how they represented our school, district, and community! They showed their Rebel Pride in Elizabethtown on Saturday. You all have truly grown this season! #WEareOC #RebelPride

Huge thanks to the Cincinnati Museum Center for an incredible program and to our Youth Service Center for sponsoring this hands-on experience. Our students loved it! Yes, I even pet the hissing cockroach and the rat snake! When learning comes alive, curiosity thrives. #WEareOC

Before the sun rises and long after the lights go out, our maintenance staff ensure our schools are safe, efficient, and beautiful places for learning. Our maintenance staff go above and beyond every single day! #ThankYou #WEareOC #RebelsRiseAbove

So proud of our OCHS students as they led a powerful Veterans Day program and for our OCES students as they filled the gym with their beautiful singing. Thank you to every student and staff member who helped honor our veterans. Great day to be a Rebel! #WEareOC #ThankYou

What an incredible day at MBMS on Friday! From the hands-on excitement of Colonial Day to the engaging instruction happening in classrooms, our students were experiencing learning that was alive, vibrant, and meaningful. #WEareOC #VibrantLearning

Today’s classroom visits left me energized and grateful. Everywhere I went, students were engaged, teachers were leading with passion, and learning was filled with purpose. This is who we are. A learning community committed to doing what’s best for kids EVERY SINGLE DAY. #WEareOC

I loved celebrating our incredible OCHS students today! Their hard work, resilience, and determination showed in a big way this past year. Being on top in the region doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of grit, focus, and belief in what’s possible. #WEareOC #RebelPride

Thank you to our road crews, emergency responders, law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, utility & power crews, public works, healthcare workers, and all essential personnel working through this winter storm. I also appreciate the families who support them! #WEareOC #RebelPride

Highlight of my day was an unexpected hallway conversation at MBMS with Micah, Carter, Jacob, and Wyatt. They shared how much they enjoyed learning from their substitute through his kindness, engagement, and the lesson. Great reminder: Every adult matters in our schools! #WEareOC

It’s been an incredible weekend of learning and networking at the #KSBA Annual Conference as we build a legacy of excellence in Owen County Schools. We are coming home inspired, aligned, and ready to lead as we create One Team, One Dream! #OneTeamOneDream #BuiltToLast #WEareOC

Great way to start the week! Got to spend some more time with our students and teachers at the lower building first thing this morning. Our teachers are rockstars! Students were engaged and learning. I love seeing our students excited and having fun! #LearningInAction #WEareOC

I am so proud of Charleigh, Skylar, and Emily! You all did a great job during the Owenton Rotary Speech Contest today. I know Mrs. Webster, Ms. Perry, and I were beaming as you represented OCHS with true Rebel Pride! #WEareOC

I really enjoyed wrapping up the end of the week in classrooms at MBMS before the KSBA Conference this weekend! I love watching our teachers do what they love - TEACH! They work hard to provide quality learning experiences for our students. #WEareOC #RebelPride #EngagedLearners

Congratulations, Lady Rebels! So proud of you on your 31st District Championship win against Eminence. I love seeing our cheerleaders, band, students, and community coming out to cheer on our Lady Rebels! #RebelPride #WEareOC #31stDistrictChamps

There is nothing like the energy of a classroom where students feel seen and challenged! Spent Friday watching our upper elementary teachers turn content into a love of learning. They don’t just teach subjects. They change lives! I am proud beyond words. #WEareOC

Huge thanks to the early morning crew that I get to spend many early mornings with during the winter season! Dan, Lil, and Grant are absolute blessings on the front lines as we drive the roads together. #WEareOC #DreamTeam #OCSRoadWarriors

Community partnerships make a difference and help to support our students and their learning! Thank you to Bryce Charles, Owen County 4-H Youth Agent, for speaking with Mrs. Tamplin’s 7th & 8th grade Practical Living classes about cover letters and job interviews. #WEareOC

During classroom visits at MBMS, I saw students actively engaged in learning that was encouraging inquiry, curiosity, and critical thinking. When students are empowered to ask questions and explore ideas, learning becomes meaningful. Proud of the work in our schools! #WEareOC

Today’s school safety tabletop exercises showed the strength of our community. School leaders, emergency responders, and agency partners working side-by-side to prepare for the unexpected. When we plan together, we stand stronger in protecting our students! #WEareOC
