The Promise of Oregon

The Promise of Oregon

OSBA founded “The Promise of Oregon” campaign in 2014 to focus attention on the accomplishments of Oregon’s kindergarten-14 students and the need to adequately fund public education.

 

Through its photographs, videos and stories, the campaign highlights the aspirations of students and demonstrates their incredible accomplishments and potential. The campaign also provides school board members and other education advocates with the tools to advocate for Oregon’s public schools, and joins other efforts, such as the Oregonians for Student Success and Oregon Rising campaigns, in advocating for public schools.

As our greatest natural resource, the students of Oregon dream of conquering diabetes, mastering physics, protecting the environment, and, in some cases, growing up to be just like their parents. At the same time, adults who have graduated from Oregon schools and gone on to successful careers recognize the importance of investing in our public education system. Enjoy – and share – these videos!

Alani Burkman, a Brookings-Harbor High School sophomore, is building a combination book shelf/bag storage unit for her room in a construction class. Burkman is also enthusiastically taking a class on small engines, helping to rebuild a Volkswagen Beetle and learning to weld. She thinks she might like to be a veterinarian technician or an agricultural teacher someday, but she values the life skills she is learning in her career and technical education courses."I don't like asking for help," she said. "I like being able to build my own stuff." The Brookings-Harbor School District, like most districts around the state, has seen an impressive correlation between students' taking CTE courses and graduating. #Oregon #education #studentsuccess #careertechnicaleducation #careerdevelopment ...
