The mission of Oakland International High School is to provide quality alternative education for recently arrived immigrant students in English language acquisition and in preparation for college. Our diverse students become active participants in our community while learning in small groups through hands-on, interdisciplinary projects and collaboration.
Support Performing Arts at OIHS!
OIHS is producing our school's *first-ever* play, starring 25 amazingly creative students, and we need your financial support to make this an experience our students and community will never forget!
Our play is called, Sweet Dreams, Amy, and the plot is funny, clever, and entertaining - we know you'll enjoy it. It's premiering Tuesday, June 14th. The pictures you see are from last year's circus class, which was a fun show, but we want to take our new play project to a higher level by raising $1,000 for the costs of set-making, costumes, lighting, and paint. To help us get it done, we're reaching out to friends and family to donate.
Our project combines PE and art and provides opportunities for kids to gain confidence and get super-invested in a fun, collaborative project with peers and bring something positive to our school and local community. The play and its accompanying music is student-written and performed.
Please donate by clicking the "Donate" link below. The show premieres soon - June 14th, and our class is working 6 hours a day every day until then to get ready! Thanks for your help.
