Tom Oberhue oral history transcript

Description

A transcript of an oral history of Tom Oberhue on current year at Century High School. Tom Oberhue has been at Century for five years, beginning as a social studies and economics teacher. At the time of the interview, he was head of the digital technology program and was teaching Network Technology. Mr. Oberhue explains that the year has been both eventful and challenging due to the budget cuts. He further elaborates on the idea that the vision for the school is quite different for everyone. He expresses looking forward to having fewer students and feeling more like a community. Oberhue recalls his childhood, growing up in Beaverton, and feeling that it was disappointing to see Oregon struggle with school funding. Overall, everything from 9/11 to the Iraq War created an underlying stress within the school and the community. During the academic year, five students received a CAM in digital technology; this being a first for Century. One of his current goals is to get the CCNA, Cisco Certified Network Associate degree, which is considered an industry standard.
