About Us

The Oakland Schools are child-focused learning centers that aim to promote high academic achievement in a supportive, challenging environment. They strive to prepare students for the 21st century, equipping them with the academic and technological skills necessary for success in future educational pursuits and professional careers.  Our schools very much reflect our motto - Oakland....A Learning Community Committed to Excellence.

The Oakland Board of Education, as the agent responsible for the education of the children of this District, will provide a coordinated and planned educational program that incorporates into its curriculum the lessons and experiences, within and outside the classroom, that are needed to attain the educational goals of the District. The Board recognizes the need for ongoing development and updating of the instructional program, and appreciates the need for continuing professional development. The Board will also seek to employ a high caliber, well prepared staff of adequate size and with wide-ranging abilities. With a relevant and current curriculum and a competent and talented staff, the Board will strive to provide an educational system that responds to individual needs and talents. 

The entire school program should be a result of the cooperative planning and action of the school staff, the pupils, the parents, and the community, under the direction of the school administration. The Board will work cooperatively with home and community, including business and industry, as well as with school staff, in the ongoing development of the educational program.
