White Oak won the Excellence in Education Award under the leadership of Dr. Schneider in 1989. White Oak's core values of respect, growth, cooperation and quality were added during the principalship of Dr. Seleznow, and White Oak became a block scheduled school in 1995 under the leadership of Ms. Yates. Many new programs that recognize students have been started by the current principal Ms. Dixon, including the Wildcat of the Month Awards and the Eighth Grade Promotion Ceremony. In addition, the block schedule was extended to ninety minutes with the APEX advisory period under her leadership. White Oak is a diverse school with students representing many races and religions coming together to learn.
Diversity is our strength.
Our school has four core values. These are primary beliefs which are central to what White Oak is and what it hopes to become. These core values are central to our interactions with other people, and central in our pursuit of learning. White Oak is one of five middle schools that are a part of the Northeast Consortium. The Northeast Consortium began as a response to student assignment issues.
