On April 29, 2025 , we proudly celebrated the ribbon cutting at Bob Sikes Elementary School, unveiling our new state-of-the-art cafetorium and modern music classroom! These new spaces reflect OCSD's ongoing commitment to providing students with inspiring environments that foster learning, creativity, and connection.
We were joined by School Board members, local leaders, the incredible Bob Sikes administrative team, and many proud parents. Guests enjoyed a beautiful performance by the 3rd grade chorus and a moving military tribute from one of our students. We thank our community members, staff, students, and valued partners at Jacobs Titan and Lord and Sons. None of this would have been possible without your investment in the Half-Cent Sales Tax, which is a true testament to our shared commitment to excellence in education.
"This ribbon cutting marks the 18th facility project completed thanks to the support of our community and the Half-Cent Sales Tax," stated Superintendent Marcus Chambers. "It's a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together. These beautiful new spaces will benefit generations of Bob Sikes students and families, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible."
