My Students

Oceanside Castleton High School is the alternate high school in the Oceanside School District.

We are all about second chances.

Some of our goals are to make sure students graduate with a regents diploma and continue their education.

Students are taught to learn outside the box. Many of our students struggle with gender identity, race and poverty on a daily basic.

Here at Castleton, the students grasp their daily challenges and grow each and everyday

My Project

Recently, our school purchased a cricket machine so the students can learn how to make personalized items like tees and sweatshirts. Some of our students do not have the means to continue their education upon graduation. By teaching them a trade, they can learn computer skills to achieve their goals in the work place.

We do not have a compatible computer.

We hope you can help us with this item. Our computer has not been updated in years.

This one computer will help us achieve our goal to learn a trade.
