🎙️ Welcome to Keeping Up With the Raccoons—the official podcast of Oconomowoc High School! I’m your host, Principal Jason Curtis (aka the one Raccoon you can’t quite catch).

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Murphy, our OHS Aviation Teacher, along with seniors Henry, Pierson, Alyssa, and Quinn, to talk about their passion for aviation and what it means to take learning to new heights…literally.

At OHS, we’re constantly evaluating the programs we offer and the courses we provide, making sure we’re evolving alongside the ever-changing world our students are preparing to enter. Over the past year, we made the decision to level up and elevate our game by launching our aviation program. Creating new opportunities for students to explore high-demand, high-skill career pathways.

As part of our OASD Graduate Profile, we are committed to preparing Future-Ready Learners. Through innovative programs like aviation, students are gaining real-world experience, building technical skills, and discovering passions that can shape their futures in powerful ways.

From the classroom to the cockpit, this episode highlights what happens when curiosity meets opportunity, and how our students are learning to dream bigger, aim higher, and take flight.

Get ready for an inspiring conversation about innovation, passion, and the exciting possibilities ahead. ✈️🦝
