As we head into November, it’s a great time to pause and reflect on all we have to be thankful for. Each day at OAHS, we see students who show up ready to learn, grow, and support one another—and that’s something truly special.

I’m grateful for our teachers and staff who give so much of themselves, our families who continue to partner with us, and our students who bring energy, creativity, and heart to our campus. Let’s carry that sense of gratitude into the month ahead as we continue working hard and finishing the semester strong.

Over the coming weeks, OAHS students will have many opportunities to get involved in community service and outreach projects that make a difference right here in our area.

Whether it’s volunteering, donating, or simply lending a hand, these efforts help us live out what it means to be part of the Spartan Family. Be on the lookout for more information soon.

Our fall sports teams have represented OAHS with pride this season!

We’re proud of every one of our athletes for their effort, teamwork, and commitment. Thank you to our coaches, families, and fans for the continued support from the sidelines!

The Orcutt Academy High School Lottery Application for the 2026–27 school year will open on Monday, November 3.

If you know families who are interested in learning more about OAHS, please encourage them to visit our website for details and to attend one of our upcoming Information Nights. These sessions are a great way for future Spartans to meet our staff, hear from current students, and see firsthand what makes our school community so special.
