Welcome to Blue Ox Community School, a high school program made possible by a partnership between the Blue Ox Millworks and Historic Park and the Humboldt Office of Education.  At Blue Ox School, students get a regular high school curriculum with a full component of hands-on projects and creative learning opportunities.  Blue Ox students earn their high school diploma while participating in a family environment, creating original works of art, building feelings of self-accomplishment, and learning valuable skills that will be of use to them in all walks of life.

Blacksmithing, ceramics, woodworking, printing projects and more at the park allow students to experience success in a hands-on setting. The sense of accomplishment gained at Blue Ox helps the students create success in other aspects of their lives. Students attend the school on a volunteer basis or through partnerships with the local schools, court systems and county employment agencies such as the Community Schools, the Workability program, and the Humboldt County Private Industry Council.
