Welcome, Principal Stanley!

It is our absolute privilege to officially introduce the new Principal of Oakdale Heights Elementary School—someone who is already a deeply cherished member of our school family: Brianne Stanley! 🎓✨

Brianne’s history with Oakdale Heights runs incredibly deep. Her journey with the Oroville City Elementary School District actually began right here at Oakdale back in 2006 as a student teacher! Since then, she has dedicated 15 wonderful years to OCESD, spending the vast majority of her time teaching fourth and fifth grade right here on our campus. 📚🍎

Her educational roots are local and strong. She earned her Multi-Subject Credential from CSU Chico and is currently completing her Administrative Credential to step into this new leadership role.

When she isn’t dedicating her time to our students and staff, Brianne loves spending time outdoors with her husband and their two wonderful daughters —especially going camping and hitting the trails for off-road adventures! 🏕️🛞

Brianne is incredibly excited to begin this next chapter exactly where her career first started. Please join us in giving a massive, warm Oakdale Heights welcome to our new Principal, Brianne Stanley! 👇❤️

A Gift for the Future: OCESD’s America’s 250th Time Capsule!

Last Wednesday, July 1st, the OCESD community came together to celebrate a massive milestone—America’s 250th anniversary! But we didn't just look back at history; we decided to make some history of our own.

To honor Semiquincentennial, our incredible students, teachers, and staff put together a special OCESD Time Capsule! 📦✨ Inside, we’ve packed letters, school memories, photos, and artifacts that capture what life is like in our district right now in 2026.

The catch? It stays sealed for the next 50 years! 🔒

This capsule will remain safely tucked away until the United States celebrates its 300th anniversary in 2076. Imagine what the world will look like when the students of the future finally crack it open! 🚀

Thank you to everyone who contributed a piece of today for the generations of tomorrow. We are so proud of our history, our present, and our future here at OCESD!
