Greater Egg is again parenting with Stockton for our annual Greater Egg Day at Stockton University!!!
This is a tremendous opportunity for our juniors and seniors to have exclusive access to Stockton's staff and facilities on Saturday, September 23rd. Stockton University is running a program exclusive to Greater Egg students only, including information on Financial Aid, Credits earned/Dual Enrollment, Campus Tours, and INSTANT DECISIONS (ACCEPTANCES).
Last year over 50 families participated, with students gaining acceptance commitments that day and many learning they could reduce their time at Stockton by 1 or 2 semesters (time and money saved) thanks to our Dual Enrollment programs. Additionally, we will be creating a program this year to have Stockton students who were "First Generation College Students" themselves assist our First Generation College Students through the college application process.
Please see the attachment for more info, and a QR code to register. This is a FAMILY event, so both students and their families are invited...and there will be breakfast available!
Hope to see you Saturday, September 23.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share that Greater Egg Board Member Peggy Capone passed away after a lengthy illness.
Peggy served her community in a variety of roles over the years, with the last 9 years as a member of our Board of Education. Few people in any role within this district have been stronger advocates for our students or celebrated their successes more than Peggy.
We thank her for dedication and service, and extend her family and loved one our deepest condolences.

Good afternoon,
At this time, we plan to hold the Commencement Ceremony for the Class of 2023 at 6pm this evening.
In the event of inclement weather, we will delay the ceremony up to an hour. This means that the ceremony may take place any time between 6 and 7pm as weather permits. Please check the Oakcrest website and social media for the revised start times and other updates. Updates will continue throughout any delay period, if needed.
In addition, if there is thunder and lightning in the area when seating begins at 5pm, guests will be directed to wait in their cars until an appropriate time for admission is determined. Graduates will wait in the Wood Floor Gym. The Oakcrest PAC will be opened for those who would like to stay indoors and to view the graduation from our streaming services.
Please dress appropriately. We will hold the ceremony in light rain. If using an umbrella, please be mindful of others around you and avoid obstructing the view of other guests.
The OHS 2023 Commencement Ceremony will stream live here. Or, by simply searching “OHS 2023 Graduation Ceremony” on YouTube. Link to the Oakcrest website here.
Thank you! Congratulations, graduates & GO FALCONS!
