Oyler School is known as a community learning center, with a philosophy that a school can only succeed if its surrounding neighborhood succeeds. To help fight the widespread poverty in its neighborhood, the school provides wraparound health and social services for students and their families. Oyler had a connection with Habitat for Humanity, which was building new houses a couple miles away. Before Stanley knew it, he and many Oyler staff members were spending every Saturday working on his future home.
