Oak Harbor Public Schools (OHPS) is set to receive approximately $38 million through the Department of Defense’s Community Noise Mitigation Grant, administered by the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC). With this award, OHPS has secured approximately $208 million in grant funding over the past three years to support critical capital projects across the district.
On Monday, September 29, 2025, the Oak Harbor School Board of Directors approved acceptance of the grant funding, which will be used to install noise insulation at Olympic View Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary School, and Oak Harbor Elementary School. Last school year, North Whidbey Middle School received similar funding through the same program. These schools were identified based on noise levels from their proximity to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI).

On Oct. 1, Oak Harbor High School students displayed their best talents and skills in the Hootenanny Variety Show. Students sang, danced, played instruments, and performed magic. A special appearance was also made by magician, Mr. Thayer.
“My favorite part was hearing all of my friends and family cheer for me, and I chose the song, because I just love Billie Eilish,” shared Lauren Fristed ‘27 who performed at the event.
“I wanted the opportunity to perform an original song, so it was really exciting to get to share something I made myself,” added Allie Sheppard ‘26.
