Please see the following message from Oxford Community Schools' Director of Athletics, Tony DeMare:
Hello OCS Families,
Many have inquired about yesterday’s decision by the Michigan High School Athletic Association to allow student-athletes to pursue Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) opportunities on an individual basis. While the decision is one that was somewhat anticipated, it is important for our coaches, student-athletes and community members to be as informed as possible moving forward.
The MHSAA has officially approved the ability for a high school and/or middle school student-athlete of a member school to actively pursue promotional and marketing opportunities with the capability of generating revenue to that respective student-athlete.
The stipulations regarding such revenue-gaining opportunities may include social media activities, commercial activities, appearances and events, autograph signings, trading cards, posters, memorabilia, etc. These opportunities may not involve tobacco use, alcohol use, cannabis use or gambling. In addition, no Oxford Schools or athletic apparel or equipment can be used or worn.
Because this is not a “collective agreement or contract,” the approval is for student-athletes to pursue on an individual basis only. This is not a comprehensive plan that will be orchestrated by any local school district or private school within the State of Michigan. At this time, there are no known “collective agreements" that exist at the high school or middle school level in the United States. Therefore, it will be strictly prohibited that anyone affiliated with the district, i.e. staff, coaches, boosters, teachers and administrators have any involvement in assisting student-athletes in ascertaining marketing opportunities involving their Name, Image & Likeness. Furthermore, any contracts that are agreed upon by a student-athlete and an organization willing to compensate must be approved by the school district, the athletic department and the MHSAA to ensure compliance.
While we acknowledge that our student-athletes are now at liberty to pursue these new endeavors, the Oxford Athletic Department will be diligently committed to compliance with the MHSAA regulations related to these activities.
Once more detailed information is provided and disseminated, I will be sure to update accordingly. As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.
Go Cats,
Tony DeMare, Director of Athletics

At last night’s board meeting, we took a moment to thank and appreciate our Oxford School Board for the time and dedication they give to our schools.
OES students made cards for the board to thank them for all they do and presented them during the meeting.
Thank you to our board for your continued support of our schools and community!

Dear OCS Community and Staff,
You’re invited to join us for a “Community of the Whole” session focused on our Portrait of a Graduate—our shared vision of the knowledge, skills, and character traits every student should develop by the time they graduate from our district. This portrait guides what we teach, how we teach it, and how we support students from kindergarten through graduation.
About the Session
Purpose: We’ll provide a brief update on the work completed so far, including how we gathered input from students, families, educators, and community partners, and how themes have emerged.
Your voice: We’ll facilitate activities to solicit your input on the draft competencies and priorities, so the Portrait reflects our whole community.
Strategic alignment: This revises our current Portrait of a Graduate to align with the district’s updated strategic plan, ensuring our vision for graduates reflects evolving priorities and continues to prepare every student for college, career, and life.
Event Details
Date/Time: Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Location: Oxford Elementary School (OES); 109 Pontiac Street
This session is open to all community members, and no registration is required.
Your perspectives will help us finalize a portrait that is inclusive, ambitious, and actionable for all students.
Additionally, we have reopened the Portrait of a Graduate community survey that was sent last month for those who would still like to add their input.
Thank you for partnering with us to shape a future-ready experience for every student. We hope to see you there!
Due to forecasted dangerously low temperatures, all Oxford Community Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 23, 2026.
Please stay safe and take necessary precautions in the extreme cold.
A huge shout-out to our OHS student volunteers for helping make this event a success!
