The Panther Nation continues to excel in the sports arena! Keep up to date with all our sports at dpathletics.ocps.net. Saturday, September 13, Dr. Phillips, participated in the second annual Expectation Graduation, an initiative of the Superintendent, Dr. Jenkins. Dr. Jenkins, administrators, counselors, school social workers, and school psychologists went in to our community to visit homes of students who had left school without graduating, some short only two credits. We are excited that three former students made a commitment to come back to school and finish! Additionally, the team visited homes to recognize students who made PERFECT scores on either FCAT Reading or the EOC
