The Oak Creek Mountain Bike Team had their first season as an official school club this past fall! Athletes improved bike handling skills, rode new trials, made new friends from Oak Creek and surrounding schools, and some even competed in challenging cross country bike races all across the state. Athletes entering grades 6-12 that reside, or attend school in the Oak Creek School District, are eligible to join for next season! Coaches are all officially registered NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) coaches who are experienced in how to best teach bike skills, apply first aid if needed, and make sure that biking is fun! Athletes are challenged to improve their skills and endurance, and are encouraged to set goals and work towards achieving them during the season. Options exist for additional adventures, like bike packing, orienteering, and trail maintenance work. Local practices are held at the Kegel-Alpha Trails in Franklin, WI from July through October. Should you have any questions about the team or interest in joining, please reach out to Head Coach Steffanie Wallin (s.wallin@ocfsd.org).

Student Services Information

Upcoming Programming for 2023-24:

Students in grades 9-11 will begin selecting their courses for next school year in February. Now is a great time to have discussions with your child regarding their post secondary goals and the courses they need to take in high school to help prepare them for these goals.
All students (including to be seniors) need to select 8 credits
All students need to select alternates. This is very important as space is limited in our most popular courses and sometimes alternates need to be substituted

Seniors:

The Multiple Scholarship Application is due February 1st (late applications will not be accepted).
Make sure to check out our scholarship page - we have many scholarships listed - so keep scrolling to the end of the document. We update this throughout the year so keep coming back to find new scholarships
All scholarship information can be found on our website

Juniors:

If your student is interested in Dual Enrollment for next school year, please plan on attending the Dual Enrollment Presentation at 6pm in Little Theater on January 5, 2023.
