Principal/Mission

Welcome to Oak Park-Carpenter Elementary in the Shawnee Mission School District.  Our school has a great tradition of excellence and excitement for learning, developing character and kindness, as well as an all-inclusive environment supported by our PTA and school families. 

Our school was established in 2007 and is located in Overland Park, Kansas with an approximate enrollment of about 500 students. We provide a variety of learning experiences through 1:1 technology, research based STEM projects, cooperative learning and field trips to excite the mind, build friendships, and build leadership skills in our students. 

Each morning our school recites the following words together:  At Oak Park-Carpenter we will be cooperative, respectful, responsible, and safe.  We are on time, on task, and on a mission.  Our mission is… learning. 

We are team OP-C, the place to be.
