🚢 A Night to Remember: Oakwood Prom 2026 recap
"What a truly magical voyage! Last Saturday, April 18, our Junior and Senior students set sail for an unforgettable evening at the Oakwood ISD Prom.

It was a joy to see our students celebrating together and creating memories that will never sink! ⚓✨ A huge thank you to Vicky Lipsey, staff, parents, and community volunteers who helped transform the venue into a spectacular setting. Thank you to Kyn's photography for capturing this beautiful night.
