Ocean View High earns Golden Bell

Ocean View High School received the prestigious Golden Bell Award

during the 12th annual Golden Bell Awards program of the California

School Boards Assn. The award was granted in the student support category

for its Week of Welcome freshman orientation program, under the direction

of Phyllis Helland and Ada Clutter.

The Golden Bell Award program promotes excellence in education by

recognizing outstanding programs in school districts throughout

California. Ocean View’s Week of Welcome was selected because of its

focus on the needs of freshmen entering the school, and providing them

with an overview of the curriculum, layout and culture of the school, and

preparing them for a successful high school experience, officials said.
