Extra-Curricular Activities
"Home of the Braves"

We encourage ALL students to participate in extra-curricular activities throughout their years in school.  Participation is on a volunteer basis and is open to all students who meet the Baldwin County Board of Education, the State Department of Education, and the Georgia High School Association eligibility standards.  Oak Hill Middle School does not sanction students’ trips that are not directly related to instruction, a club, or an athletic group, such as class trips. (Students must be present at school in order to participate in extra-curricular activities.)

Let's Go Braves!!
