From groundbreaking to grand opening, the community was part of the journey at every step at @TheOCForney. The OC’s value is shared among all members of the community. Students learn to run on-campus businesses, while business owners learn social influencing skills from students.

During our tour of Opportunity Central in Forney, we anticipated being impressed, but the student projects exceeded all expectations! Blooms, the fully student-run floral shop at OC, showcased such incredible talent that Sarah couldn’t resist leaving with a jaw-dropping arrangement. youtu.be/AuEK9UpDnY0?si=Zt2v… @theocforney @forneyisd #forneyfamily #TheOC #OpportunityCentral

Amid all the pressure for students to excel on the STAAR test, how did Dr. Justin Terry, Superintendent of Forney ISD, find the courage to prioritize teaching beyond the test? youtu.be/AuEK9UpDnY0?si=DQ_B… @theocforney @forneyisd #forneyfamily #theOC #OpportunityCentral

A new school year means new opportunities at the The OC! @ForneyISD's aptly named Opportunity Central integrates its community through partnerships with local businesses—welcoming students and visitors alike to learn, shop and relax. - #education #community #wayfinding

A revolutionary planning process for a revolutionary facility! Instead of schools, @HuckabeeInc and @forneyISD teams toured world class coworking/event spaces for #design insights, spending 8 months turning ideas into concepts to make the OC the dynamic facility it is today.
