“With the love of the music and this movie, I just really love it. And I’m so excited to perform for everyone.” Come see High School Musical on Stage this weekend: Friday and Saturday at 7:00 pm and Sunday at 2:00 pm.

Check out this incredible find shared by Mr. K at OFA. This postcard from 1907 captures the Owego Bridge Works, a powerhouse of local industry that manufactured steel bridges found all across the Northeast.
It’s amazing to see how the landscape has transformed:
Then vs. Now: The central brick building in the photo is what we now know as the Open Door Mission.
The View: Taken from the main road (now Route 38), looking toward what is now our OACSD main campus.
The Layout: This is one of the earliest glimpses of our school grounds! OES would eventually sit to the left, the sports fields in the center, and OFA/OAMS toward the far right.
It’s pretty wild to see open fields and hills where our students now learn and play every day.

ICYMI: It’s official! 🎉 The FY26 Agriculture Appropriations bill was signed into law, securing $811,000 for the Tioga Regional Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center!
We want to extend a massive thank-you to Senator Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand for their support and for championing this investment in our students and our community’s future.
The funds secured by the Senators will allow us to expand our partnership with Broome-Tioga BOCES and transform the Owego Apalachin campus into a hub for workforce development. This funding will provide local students with hands-on training in high-demand fields right here at home.
Check out our previous announcements to see how this project has grown: 🔹 Learn more about the vision: https://www.oacsd.org/article/2558782 🔹 See the expansion details: https://www.wbng.com/2025/11/17/broome-tioga-boces-announces-expansion-owego-apalachin-campus/
