First day of school vibes! Welcome back, OCIS students. We're ready to dive into another exciting school year!

Happy first day of school to all Ocean City students! We hope you had a great summer and are ready to rock and roll with us. 🎸

New Superintendent Dr. Latwis kicked off the first day back with a fun raffle inviting teachers and staff to share advice and feedback for building a strong, lasting future in Ocean City. Winners received gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses, donated by the Ocean City Education Foundation. The activity reinforced Dr. Latwis’ message - he’s here for the long haul. ⚓️
