Through our school’s partnership with the OAC, and with the help of Michael Duncan,

we are lucky to be able to provide our students and staff with a rare and beneficial

learning opportunity. The OAC is showing the local documentary Milwaukee 53206 on

Thursday, January 11th at 1:00 PM to students and staff only and a free screening at

7:00 PM for the public. Below you will find a brief overview of the film’s content.

This is a free screening of the documentary and will be followed by a Q&A

with Beverly Walker, who is featured in the film. Donations for the OAC Food

Pantry will also be accepted before the screening.

The United States has the most prisoners of any nation in the world both in absolute numbers and per capita. These numbers are further compounded within Milwaukee’s mostly African-American 53206 ZIP code, where 62% of adult Black men are currently in prison or have served time.

Through the intimate stories of three 53206 residents, MILWAUKEE 53206 chronicles the high toll that excessive and racially-biased jail sentences have on individuals and families. The film examines Milwaukee’s ZIP code 53206 and illuminates the story of people from across the United States who live with the daily effects of unfair and excessively long jail sentences.



There will be an informational meeting for all boys interested in

participating in Track and Field this spring season. We will cover

expectations for athletes during the season, as well as what athletes

should be doing to prepare for the season.

When? During Pride Period, Wednesday, January 10th

Where? Little Theater, Room 202

How to sign up? Coach O’Connor will request athletes already

registered for track, sign up for his Pride if you are not requested but

interested

Reminder: This is for ANY and ALL athletes that are thinking of

participating in track!

Save the date! Oconomowoc High School will be offering the ASVAB test to interested 10th, 11th 12th grade students

on Thursday, January, 11th. The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is one of the most widely used, multiple-

aptitude tests in the world, developed and maintained by the Department of Defense. To register, please sign up Student

Services.

If you are looking to pursue a military career or joining a branch of the military, you should consider taking the ASVAB. The

Military uses students’ ASVAB scores to identify the occupations that best suit their abilities. Junior, senior and postsecondary

school students can use their ASVAB scores for enlistment for up to two years after taking the test.

The ASVAB consists of the following eight individual tests:

General Science

Arithmetic Reasoning

Word Knowledge

Paragraph Comprehension

Mathematics Knowledge

Electronics Information

Auto and Shop Information

Mechanical Comprehension

Students are provided with scores on each of these individual tests and three Career Exploration Score composites: Verbal

Skills, Math Skills and Science and Technical Skills. The battery takes approximately three hours to complete, and test results

are returned to schools within a few weeks.

Should you have any questions regarding the ASVAB test, please contact OHS Counselor, Jennifer

Hoffman: [email protected] or 262-560-3124
