Meet Oakestown Intermediate! ?? We invite our community to join us for the grand opening this Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2024, at 5 p.m.! ?? The 60-year-old building at 3535 Wilson Ave. has been transformed and is ready to open its doors as the new Oakestown Intermediate School, serving 5th and 6th graders. Teachers will work in pods that allow for subject-specific teaching.

We're also grateful to GMB Architects and O-A-K Construction for their work in making this school perfect for early adolescents! ??
