Oakcrest's annual edition of the Stylus is out now! Edited by English teacher Megan Carr, it contains stories, poems, drawings, and photos from some of the Nest's most artistic Falcons! You can read a digital copy at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IxSnXBMhiig3EvVymHwFsxTyTIt65ZUd/view

In early June, Oakcrest's chapter of the National Honor Society hosted its second Red Cross Blood Drive of the school year. The event was a huge success:

🩸 30 pints were donated, which means almost 100 lives were saved.
🩸 Nearly half who participated in the drive were new donors.
🩸 A number of donors opted for a "power red" donation, which extracts double the red blood cells of a standard donation.

A big thanks to all who participated!

In late May, Oakcrest's National Honor Society hosted its first annual "Four Pillars Day," during which current NHS members worked with Oakcrest freshmen and sophomores and William Davies Middle School 8th graders to learn about and celebrate scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Props to all the students and staff involved in the planning and preparation of this exciting new event! 🕯️📚💙

Recently, Oakcrest's Science Club spent time exploring local public land and admiring its abundant wildlife. In late May and early June, this group of ecologically-minded Falcons enjoyed the peace and scenery of both Batsto State Park and the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. 🦅🌸💙

ICYMI, Oakcrest Student Council hosted its annual Field Day competition in early June. The Disney-themed event was a blast...and couldn't have happened without the help of the students and staff who make up StuCo! A big shout-out to the crew pictured here for their planning, positive attitude, dedication, and hard work! ✨🐭💙

Oakcrest Flag Football had a notable season, earning twice as many wins as they did last spring and finishing with a 6-6 record. Props to coaches Brittney Carney and Mike Forest and all the players for their growth! The team is young and graduates no players this year, so their future is looking bright! 🏈😎🚩

With 13 wins and only 6 losses (and one regular-season game left to play), Oakcrest Boys' Tennis has earned their best record in nearly 2 decades. They take on a very tough Middle Township team at home today at 4 and will travel to meet intra-district rivals Cedar Creek in the first round of the NJSIAA Group 2 Playoff Tournament. Congrats to all the players and coach Brandon Wise for an awesome 2 months of tennis! Falcon Nation wishes you luck! 🎾💙🏆

Lots of nominations for all 3 GEH schools today at the SNJ Cappies Awards Gala!

Cedar Creek HS Engineering Seniors to compete in National Finals of World’s Largest Student Rocketry Competition

A team of Seniors, (Clinton Rood, Naman Patel, Jakob Dase and Richie Gonzales) from Cedar Creek’s Engineering program are among 100 national finalists in the American Rocketry Challenge. The students will compete against other teams at the National Finals, taking place on May 16 in The Plains, VA, just outside Washington, DC. The team was chosen to represent NJ at the Rockets on Capitol Hill event on Friday, May 15th

Teams will be vying for $100,000 in awards and the top 25 teams will automatically be eligible to earn a spot in NASA’s Student Launch Initiative. The team is being advised by Lisa Martinelli and Richard Zucal through the Engineering Design and Development Program at Cedar Creek.

This year’s American Rocketry Competition featured 1,107 teams — more teams than ever before — and more than 6,200 middle and high school students from 44 states, plus Washington, DC, and the Northern Mariana Islands. For 2026, each team was required to design, build, and launch model rockets that safely carry one raw egg to an altitude of 750 feet, stay airborne for between 36 and 39 seconds, and return the rocket to the ground safely. This is Cedar Creek’s first time competing in the challenge. Sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association, the National Association of Rocketry, and more than 15 industry, government, and academia partners, the American Rocketry Challenge is the aerospace and defense industry’s flagship program designed to encourage students to study and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Now in its 24th year, the competition has inspired middle and high school students to explore education and careers in STEM fields.

In addition to the main competition the Cedar Creek Team was chosen to represent NJ at the Rockets on the Hill event on Friday, May 15th

Rockets on the Hill brings together select American Rocketry Challenge teams to share their work with Members of Congress, congressional staff, industry leaders, and the public, highlighting the impact of hands‑on STEM education and student innovation. Teams will have the opportunity to display their rockets, discuss their design process, and represent their state while engaging directly with national leaders.

Good Morning,

At this time, all power has been restored at Oakcrest High School. We have resumed our normal half-day schedule.

Good morning, at this time, a substantial part of Oakcrest high school does have electric. While lighting is affected in some areas, staff and students are able to proceed safely at this time. Because we are on a shortened day schedule already, we would like very much to complete the day and provide food to our students. We are proceeding with our normal shortened day schedule at this time and do anticipate completing the day at 12 noon. We will provide an additional update in approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
