  • Bridget Watson | Gifted, Speech, After School Care

    I love Oak Ridge because it is a K-12 school. I like to see the students as they begin their journey exploring learning, and when they transition into young professionals in their educational careers.

  • Dr Shawn Nix | Elementary Principal

    I have been in education now for 18 years. Oak Ridge is an awesome school! It has a community spirit that I have not found in the other schools that I have been a part. The students, staff, parents and community at large have a vested interest in seeing all parts of the school succeed. I'm glad that I get to be part of the long history of excellence that is the Oak Ridge R-VI school system.

  • Kim Scheffer | Elementary Admin Asst, Alumni, Parent

    I am a generational family member who attended all 12 years here. What I liked most was knowing everyone I went to school with, most were and still are like extended family. We always come together in times of need. My family chose to stay in the community so we could have the same opportunities. Now, I get to see my children and other children learn from very dedicated teachers who work with each student's unique characteristics to help them learn to the best of their ability.
