Our Oneida High School students are officially back in the building—and it truly feels like home again.

Day one was filled with smiles, positive energy, and an overwhelming sense of excitement as students and staff reunited in their shared space. After months of disruption and uncertainty following the historic flooding that first impacted the Oneida City School District in June, returning to the high school marks a meaningful milestone for our entire community.

This journey has required patience, perseverance, and an incredible amount of teamwork. Through it all, our students, families, faculty, and staff have demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience. Seeing our hallways full once again is a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together.

We are proud of our students, grateful for our dedicated staff, and optimistic for the remainder of the school year ahead. We move forward stronger than ever—together.
