OXFORD – Oxford Academy High School held their Fall Awards Program and Open House last Wednesday. Many students received academic or attendance awards and then parents and children were invited to experience a shortened version of their child’s school day. Parents had an opportunity to meet the teachers and learn about the requirements and expectations for each course of study.

The new high school teachers were on hand to greet parents for the first time; they were: Lance Thorne in physical education; Jeff Weinell in business education; Rebecca Heiss in science; Mike Chrystie in social studies; and Kate Stopper in instrumental music. Both returning teachers as well as new ones had ideas for interesting lessons and better teaching results.
