The Campaign for Oliver Ames High School is offering the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to support the school by naming one or more spaces within our new building.
The Oliver Ames High School community of faculty, staff, students, parents, and residents believe that in order to fulfill its mission of excellence and equity in education, we must embody the ideals of a comprehensive high school. To that end, we will work together to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment. Students will become skillful learners and independent thinkers who contribute in many ways to our ever changing world. We recognize the need for a variety of learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom and promote individual responsibility and respectful interaction. By achieving goals and overcoming adversity, students will be encouraged to reach their potential and be prepared to assume meaningful roles in society.
