Oregon City Pioneer Robotics Organization (OCPro) is currently in Atlanta, Georgia competing in the world FIRST Championship. OCPro, also known as Team 2550, is a FIRST Robotics team which consists students from the Oregon City School District. They won the Rookie All-Star Award.

The team had to design, build, and program the robot in only 6-weeks. This is the nature of the FIRST Competition, as all teams have to complete this task in the same amount of time. FIRST also celebrates "Gracious Professionalism," which advocates teams helping one another to be their best, so the competition doesn't hinder teams from learning from one another.

OCPro won the Rookie All-Star Award at the Oregon Regional in late February. This award is for the rookie team that worked to educate others about FIRST, science, and technology, and which looks to be an extremely good team in the future.
OCPro has had numerous newspaper articles published about their team, and are currently serving as Ambassadors of the City of Oregon City during this trip.

There's good news from Oregon City High School – more students are staying in school and graduating today than in the past.

According to Oregon Department of Education data released today, OCHS drop-out rates decreased from 5% during the 2005-2006 school year to just 1.9% in 2006-2007, the most current year that drop-out rates are available.

"We're taking students within our school and trying to provide them all of the tools they need to succeed," said Oregon City High School Principal Nancy Bush-Lange. "We want every kid to have not only a high school degree, but education beyond that as well."

During the same time, statewide percentages rose from 4.1% to 4.9%.

"We all know that there is no way that a student can expect to be successful in the future if they do not graduate from high school today," Oregon State Schools Superintendent Susan Castillo said.

The Oregon Department of Education defines "a dropout as a student in grades 9-12 who withdraws from school without receiving a high school diploma, GED, modified diploma, or transferring to another school."

The Oregon City School district currently serves about 7,800 students and continues to put more dollars directly into the classroom than the state average.
