This Week at Oakcrest

Junior Ring Ceremony Before the Junior Ring Ceremony on Tuesday evening, the juniors shared lunch together and spent part of the afternoon building camaraderie among their classmates with outdoor games. That evening, they were honored in a special ceremony that highlighted this great milestone in their Oakcrest experience! Congratulations, Class of 2024!

Throughout Junior Year in both their classes and Grade Level Experiences, students engage with the theme "person" and "woman", specifically exploring what it means to be "Trustees of Humanity." Julie Marx (Ana '24, Ellie '26) shared a beautiful reflection on this at the Junior Ring Ceremony.
