Senior Portraits

Rising senior students are now able to sign up for senior portraits! Unlike previous years, seniors have to sign up for a picture session with Victor O’Neill. Our first sessions will be held June 20, 21, and 24; we’ll send information about subsequent sessions as they come up. The link to sign up was emailed to students and parents on Monday, June 3. If you have questions about senior portraits in general, please email Victor O'Neill studios at @email. Please kindly include your Senior’s First and Last Name and “Oakton Class of 2025” when emailing, for faster assistance. If you have other senior portrait or scheduling questions you can email Martha Rodeheaver, Assistant Principal, at @email. 

Jump Start 

We will be hosting a two-day optional Jump Start program to help prepare rising 9th grade students for the 2024-2025 school year. The program will be held on Tuesday-Wednesday August 6th-7th from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. Oakton teachers will lead sessions on topics including study skills, literacy and math skills, as well as a fun and exciting introduction to Oakton High School. Participants will get to hear from Oakton teachers and students regarding questions they have for the upcoming school year. Participation is $40.00 which will include an Oakton t-shirt for each participant.  If you are interested in your rising 9^th grader attending, please fill out the registration form here.  Payment will be made at a later date.
