First & foremost, I'm a proud husband & father. Secondly, I’m blessed to work with the great students, parents, staff, & community of Owen County. Go Rebels!
Today was a great day of learning, collaboration, and planning as our teachers worked together to strengthen instruction through high-quality instructional resources and curriculum planning. #RebelsRiseAbove#LearnServeSucceed#TeachingAndLearning
I had the opportunity to visit iLEAD Academy and watch our students shine during the Showcase and Senior Capstone presentations! So proud of the confidence and passion displayed while sharing their learning and future goals. Our Rebels are doing amazing things! #WEareOC
Proud of our 4th graders at Owen County Elementary for their amazing Passion Project presentations today!They showcased confidence, creativity, communication, and leadership while taking another step toward our Portrait of a Learner. Great job, Rebels! #WEareOC#RebelsRiseAbove
There’s something special about watching our students step onto the stage and shine. The arts give students a voice, a purpose, and a place to shine in ways that reach far beyond the classroom. I’m so proud of our cast and crew of Aladdin and their performance today! #WEareOC
I love our teachers and the incredible opportunities they provide for our students each and every day. I am always proud of them! Seeing all of those hands raised, students engaged, and learning taking place is what it’s all about. #WEareOC#LearninginAction#OurTeachersRock
I love seeing all our students all dressed up for prom! My favorite tradition is the Grand March. It’s a special moment where everyone comes together before our kids head off to prom and dance the night away. #WEareOC#PromNight#MakingMemories
Today was a special day for our teams as they got to practice on the new fields for the very first time. There’s still work to be done, but it’s coming along and those smiles made it all worth it! #WEareOC#LadyRebelsSoftball#RebelsBaseball
Proud of our Student Technology Leadership Program! Yesterday, Mr. Jesse Cook jumped in and fixed my tech issue like a pro.
This is more than tech. It’s leadership, service, and real-world skills in action.
Our students continue to impress me every day. #WEareOC#RebelPride
I LOVED watching our students get so excited as they studied plant and animal cells in Mrs. Dempsey’s and Mrs. Hathaway’s co-teaching classroom this week. Our students were so engaged with this vibrant learning experience. #WEareOC#RebelPride#VibrantLearninginScience
A BIG THANK YOU to the Owen County Chamber of Commerce for allowing our school district to share our District Strategic Plan with you at this month’s meeting. In order to accomplish our goals, we need the support of our community to make it all happen. #WEareOC#CommunityMatters
From Signs of Spring with Mrs. Bastin to Expository Text with Mrs. Reynolds to Line Plots with Miss Perkins to Dissection with Mrs. Cammack to a Disney Flower Expo with Mrs. Post, it has been a busy week in our classrooms! I love observing vibrant learning experiences! #WEareOC
Today’s school safety tabletop exercises showed the strength of our community. School leaders, emergency responders, and agency partners working side-by-side to prepare for the unexpected. When we plan together, we stand stronger in protecting our students! #WEareOC
During classroom visits at MBMS, I saw students actively engaged in learning that was encouraging inquiry, curiosity, and critical thinking. When students are empowered to ask questions and explore ideas, learning becomes meaningful. Proud of the work in our schools! #WEareOC
Community partnerships make a difference and help to support our students and their learning! Thank you to Bryce Charles, Owen County 4-H Youth Agent, for speaking with Mrs. Tamplin’s 7th & 8th grade Practical Living classes about cover letters and job interviews. #WEareOC
Huge thanks to the early morning crew that I get to spend many early mornings with during the winter season! Dan, Lil, and Grant are absolute blessings on the front lines as we drive the roads together. #WEareOC#DreamTeam#OCSRoadWarriors
There is nothing like the energy of a classroom where students feel seen and challenged! Spent Friday watching our upper elementary teachers turn content into a love of learning. They don’t just teach subjects. They change lives! I am proud beyond words. #WEareOC
