Educating Tomorrow's Citizens



Thank you for a great Annual Conference!  We'll see you in Worthington in 2009!  Check out highlights from this year's conference.

OCSS Executive Board Elections were held at the Annual Conference.  Click here to see the results!



This 12 Foot Tall 8 Foot wide Constitution was built by students at the Life Skills Center of Trumbull County for Constitution Day.  The Constitution was placed in the parking lot and students and parents were asked to sign it.  Pocket Constitutions were given out and students were interviewed by the news reporters. 
Next year, the plan is to build the Bill of Rights to go along with the Constitution and put them both in the town square.

Thank you to Scott Davis, Social Studies Teacher at Life Skills Center of Trumbull County for submitting this picture!
