Congratulations to OCHS EL teacher, Emily Perkins, January's Experience Excellence Award winner!
The OCS Experience Excellence Award recognizes individuals who provide excellent service, going above and beyond to ensure that students, parents, staff, and the community have an outstanding experience with Oldham County Schools.
Ms. Perkins' student-centered approach is embedded in everything that she does in her classroom, and she is committed to providing her students with the resources they need to be successful beyond the four walls of the school building.
She celebrates her students’ successes and encourages them to reach for the stars. During a faculty meeting, she invited a student from her EL course to celebrate in front of the staff as the Crown Trophy Award Student of the Month, where she read out loud the contributions and successes the student accomplished while at OCHS. Not more than a week later, she assisted a student from her class making his first college phone call ever to an admissions counselor at Berea College, and she made sure that we celebrated his big moment as he set a date to tour the campus. She is 100% student-centered.
Congratulations, Ms. Perkins!

The Oldham County School district is offering a PE course, Fit for Life, to give students more flexibility in their schedules during their high school years as well as learning to be “fit for life”.
Our first priority is the safety of our students. This year, there has been increased usage and numerous health emergencies stemming from the use of vapes, especially from those containing illegal drugs. Vaporizers/e-cigarettes come in all different shapes and sizes and can contain tobacco and/or various forms of synthetic cannabinoids.
To deter student use of vapes and the harmful impacts of such, each high school has been equipped with a number of Halo Smart Sensors (click to read more information). These sensors detect the use of vaporizing products and immediately alert administrators in the building via email and text message.
We ask that you speak to your child about the harmful effects of using vapes and review OCBE Policy 9068 regarding the consequences for tobacco and/or drug use. Consequences can range from suspension to full-time placement at the alternative school.
Thank you in advance for partnering with us to protect your child’s health and wellness.
