Oak Ridge has a wonderful band program & great AP classes. My son graduated in 2009 & played band from middle school until he graduated & now plays for The Untied States Marine Corp Band in San Diego- I credit the wonderful band/music program for helping him so far! I have another son that has severe learning disabilities & Oak Ridge High School did not work so well for him- we had to move him to a smaller school system & he is set to graduate in May. He could have graduated in December because he had enough credits & the same for my step daughter who did really well at Oak Ridge. Good Luck!

We do have an excellent music program (band, orchestra, and choral) in Oak Ridge, as well as robust AP offerings. Three of my daughters arrived at college very well prepared (math, physics, and engineering respectively), and my fourth is set to graduate with her first two years of math (for an engineering major) already completed. You can get the course catalog for the high school at http://highschool.ortn.edu.

The Oak Ridge school system is always ranked higher than any other school system around here each year. If you wanted to, you might be able to get a tour of the facilites and you will be impressed for sure. Mike Mullins, AD has given some tours for friends of mine after the renovations and it really is something to see. Looks like a college instead of a high school.

I am a Decatur native, and a 1989 graduate of the School of Communication from University of AL in Huntsville. We may know some of the same folks. Contact me at 865-481-6538 if you wish.

Btw, my uncle owns a bank in Madison and Personal Touch Health Care in Decatur (my cousin, Mollie now actually, as he passed away two years ago at the young age of 60). His name was Mike Turner. If you ever do business in Madison you might know Jazmin Castillo (Banker's Trust). Our two daughters attend and attended ORHS. Julie, ORHS 2012 and Jodie 2014. (softball, excellent students as well).:)
Looking for a legit roofer that can do indoor ceiling that once had water damage. I'm NOT looking for a band aid business.

We used a contractor ((865) 249-7825) when a tree fell on our roof, cracking a beam. We also had water damage from a previous leak. I can't remember the contractor's name, since insurance took care of it, but they did an excellent job both on repair and painting.
