Sixth Grade!
Oakcrest originally began as a 7th-12th grade school. In the 2003-2004 school year, Oakcrest welcomed its first class of sixth graders - the Class of 2010! Today, students who attend Oakcrest from 6th-12th grades are known as "acorns," and receive special recognition at their graduation ceremony. In the Class of 2010 there were 10 acorns!
Watch a video highlighting the Oakcrest acorn journey.
