Words from ASB President Caleb Cole: “The thing that I will remember most from my senior year at Oakdale High School is the sense of community on campus and throughout the city of Oakdale. When I entered the Oakdale school system as a freshman, I quickly realized that most of my new classmates had known each other since the beginning of their life, and they plan to remain friends until the end. From my first days on campus, the school as a whole, provided opportunities for lifelong friendships to form. In tough times, whether it be the loss of a classmate or teacher, the community was there to support those who were hurting. In the good times, the community was there to uplift and celebrate with the students of Oakdale High. Through every hardship, the community of Oakdale gets stronger, and the feeling of camaraderie that comes with that, is one that I will always remember.”
Words from Prinicpal Mike Moore: “Although the class of 2020 got short-changed from the typical “senior year”, through grit and perseverance they will make it through and accomplish many great things.”
