As we kick off the new year, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible growth and energy we’ve seen at OAHS over the past few years—especially in our extracurricular programs. With over 80% of our students involved in athletics, clubs, and leadership, school spirit is soaring!
Our new gymnasium has been a game-changer, hosting volleyball and basketball games and bringing packed stands and unmatched energy. It has also transformed rallies, dances, and performances, giving our students a space to shine. Our soccer teams are now playing home games on campus for the first time in a long time, strengthening student support and school pride.
Beyond sports, student involvement is at an all-time high in Robotics, ASB, Theater, Band, Choir, Freshman Connect Crew, and over 20 active clubs. The passion and dedication from our students, staff, and families are making OAHS a place where everyone can find their path and thrive.
As we move into the new year, remember to take advantage of the resources available to you—teacher support, tutoring, and intervention programs. Stay engaged, ask for help when needed, and make the most of everything OAHS has to offer!
Thank you to all who make these experiences possible. Let’s keep the momentum going—Spartans, let’s fly high this semester!
