OGMS INVITED TO PREPS

By: Darla Raber

Oak Grove Middle School has been invited to celebrate their accomplishments with the Programs of Research and Evaluation for Public Schools (PREPS), Mississippi’s only statewide educational Organization. Every year PREPS holds a meeting to celebrate the achievements and collaborations in schools. Since 1997, the PREPS Value-Added Awards Program aims to identify high performing schools among Mississippi public school districts.

“Schools which are deemed as adding value are those performing significantly better than other schools with comparable socioeconomic circumstances.” The PREPS organization follows the mission of providing research and evaluation for public schools.   

This year, PREPS, along with the Mississippi Association of Partners in Education (MAPE), held an awards luncheon and ceremony on February 25, 2019, at Hattiesburg’s Lake Terrace Convention Center. Oak Grove Middle School, along with other schools from our district, were invited to participate. We are very honored to be chosen to celebrate our accomplishments, and are happy we are able to represent our school for the state of Mississippi. We congratulate others who were also in attendance.
