🎉 Big day at Holcomb Elementary!

This morning, we broke ground at Holcomb Elementary for our phase 2 bond projects— and we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead.

Holcomb Elementary's current building has served Oregon City families since 1966. Sixty years later, it's time for a refresh — and thanks to the 2025 Bond, Holcomb is getting safety and security enhancements, essential infrastructure updates including new roofs, plumbing, flooring, windows, electrical systems, and HVAC, accessibility improvements, and updated classrooms and learning spaces.

Bremik Construction was selected as the construction manager/general contractor for the Holcomb project, and we're happy to partner with a team that shares our commitment to our students and the community.

This is a Phase 2 project under the 2025 Bond — made possible because Oregon City voters said yes to investing in our schools. 🏗️💛

Construction will soon be underway, and we can't wait to show you what's coming. Follow along for updates at ocschoolbond.org, or our 2025 Bond's social media channels!

Last night, the Candy Lane Elementary community broke ground on their 2025 Bond projects that will repair and update their aging school building.

Before the school's end-of-year learning celebration, families heard from Superintendent Dr. Dayle Spitzer and our Bond Director David Hobbs about what's coming next. Then students and families signed their names onto boards that will be placed inside the walls of the new building — a time capsule sealed into the structure itself.

Thank you to the families who came out, the staff who made it happen, and the voters who said yes to investing in our schools.

We received 11 proposals for our phase 3 CM/GCs on Tuesday! As reminder, our phase 3 schools are Beavercreek Elementary, Gaffney Lane Elementary, and Redland Elementary. We will be working through scoring them, interviewing, and making selections in the upcoming weeks and we look forward to announcing who was selected. Thank you to all those who applied!
