Members of the Class of 2022 will gather in the OHS auditorium Thursday, Jan. 9, during 3rd period to hear a Career Education presentation by representatives of Fairmont and Centerville High Schools.

After the presentation, all students will have the opportunity to take permission slips for visits to the high schools to tour the programs that interest them.  The visit to Centerville High School will be Jan. 15 and to Kettering Fairmont Jan. 31.  Both tours will run from approximately 9:00-10:15. The permission slips are due in the Oakwood Guidance Office by Jan. 13 for the Centerville visit and by Jan. 27 for the Fairmont visit. These are firm deadlines.  Due to transportation schedules, permission slips turned in after the due date will not be accepted.

There is a Career Expo for students and parents at Centerville High School for programs offered at Centerville High School Wednesday, Jan. 15, from 7-8 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center (PAC).  Fairmont will host an information session for programs offered at Fairmont High School for students and parents in the FHS cafeteria/commons area Monday, Feb. 3, from 6-7 p.m.  

If, after touring the program, your student is interested in participating in one of these opportunities, they will need to complete and submit an application.  There are two spots in every program reserved for Oakwood students and the selection process is somewhat selective.  Please note, Centerville High School requires an acceptance offer to be signed and returned to them to secure the spot.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Kelly Owens, the Career Education coordinator, at 297-5326 or owens.kelly@oakwoodschools.org
