Oakmont School-Wide Summer Literacy '25

Overcoming Adversity

This summer all Oakmont Regional High School students and staff will explore true stories of individuals who have triumphed over adversity. Whether injuries or loss or monumental setbacks, all of us face challenges. We shape our own narratives by how we learn and grow from those challenges, both the small and the significant. These inspirational narratives offer insights into the nature of courage, perseverance, and the indomitable human spirit.

This year's literacy assignment has THREE (3) parts. Individually, each part is relatively short, but equally important, and contributes to the overall assignment. This assignment is to be completed over the summer so please make sure you have finished all three (3) parts before Literacy Day on Thursday, August 28th.

Read ONE (1) of the selected excerpts, articles, or book chapters
Watch ONE (1) of the selected movies, documentaries, or show episodes
Listen to ONE (1) of the selected podcast episodes
