Nearly half of the seventh grade students from Owensboro Catholic Middle School were recently recognized by Duke University's Talent Search Program as showing talent in either the area of Verbal and/or Mathematical ability. The program is aimed at identifying gifted seventh graders and invites these students to participate in taking either the SAT or ACT college entrance examinations.

Owensboro Catholic Middle School also boasts a strong fine arts, co-curricular and athletics program. In fact, the OCMS marching band members, Matt Grimsley, Katie McBride and Tim Coleman were just named to All District Band. The football team had a great finish, and the Academic Recall team is alive and kicking! The overwhelming committment of a superb instructional staff, a great administration, strong parental involvement, and volunteers who support OCMS are only a few reasons for our success.

New technological improvements have set the pace for this middle school. A newly completed computer lab offers every student more educational advantages. By the 1999 school year the entire OCS school system will be able to communicate via the World Wide Web.
