The ONC BOCES Annual Meeting brought together administration, component superintendents, and board members for an evening of collaboration and celebration. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal thoughtfully prepared and served by our talented Culinary Arts students, showcasing both their skill and dedication.
A highlight of the evening was a presentation from our New Visions Engineering program, featuring instructor Dave Morell and student Griffin Pizza. Griffin shared a powerful personal story about how the program transformed his trajectory, opening doors and expanding opportunities beyond what was previously available to him in his home district of Sharon Springs. His reflections underscored the meaningful impact of innovative, career-focused education.
Each year, the Annual Meeting also provides an opportunity to recognize valued community partners whose support strengthens ONC BOCES and enhances our ability to serve the region. With sincere gratitude, we were proud to honor Laurie Darlfer-Sweeney and Pete’s Auto and Towing for their continued partnership and commitment.
The evening concluded with a presentation of the proposed 2026–27 BOCES budget, delivered by Dr. Jennifer Avery, offering insight into the organization’s priorities and vision for the coming year.
