Honored Scholars and Mentors from the schools in the DCMO BOCES region received their certificates from DCMO BOCES Superintendent Michael Rullo Monday night at the Scholar Recognition ceremony in the SUNY Oneonta Alumni Field House. We're proud of the students' scholastic achievement, and are pleased to recognize the mentors for their positive influence and example.











Students selected from 40 area schools, along with the mentors they chose, were honored last night at the 2024 Scholar Recognition Program. The event was held at the SUNY Oneonta Field House, where students and their families were joined by their mentors, school administrators, and local academic and business leaders to celebrate their scholastic achievement, leadership and community service. Students enjoyed a dinner, music by a teacher/student ensemble from Norwich City School District, speakers from the local business and educational community, and posed for formal portraits with their mentor. Each student and mentor received certificates at the event.
The Scholar Recognition Program began over 20 years ago as an initiative of the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce, and is now organized and supported by DCMO and ONC BOCES and area colleges and businesses. The program is unique in honoring both the achievement of students and the contribution of mentors who had a significant and beneficial influence on the students.











Last Thursday was Applications Day at DCMO BOCES Alan D. Pole Campus. The event gave students an opportunity to learn about and submit applications for post-graduation employment with local businesses. Students spent the afternoon discussing job opportunities, application processes and learned tips and tricks to help them land a job from the business representatives.
