Oceana High School Class of 1966 Scholarship Fund
According to historical accounts, the community of Oceana, WV was settled in the mid-1750s and the settlers very quickly “decided to set aside certain days of the year for working the roads.” Thus, transforming trails to roads. This same collaborative mindset lives on in the alumni of the Oceana High School Class of 1966. These individuals had a collective vision for their 50th reunion---“leave a living legacy of our time at OHS”. Achieving a dream requires commitment, hard work and perseverance. Traits these alumni honed during their years at OHS. Their reunion event supported by the alumni attending and reunion planners Johnny Ray McCarty, Darrell Lester, Curtis Acord, Patty Wooten Sheppard, Butch Lambert, and Paulette Umberger Lambert successfully garnered funding for creating this merit based scholarship for students at Westside High School.
In 2002, Oceana High School closed its doors for the last time when it merged with Baileysville High School forming Westside High School. It marked the end of an era. The Class of 1966’s vision begins another era; one impacting the educational and occupational dreams of their community’s aspiring graduates.
