When the 2019-20 school year begins on Monday, Aug. 26, Oxford will welcome a crop of new teachers into the district’s elementary, middle school and high school classrooms. Last week, they all gathered at the Oxford Virtual Academy (OVA) for orientation and the Leader snapped a photo of them. Here they are.
