Hey Raccoon Community!
Well, that flew by! The final days of school are here, and I want to wish
everyone a relaxing and fun summer! This past school year has been one of my
favorites of all time. As we emerged from the challenges of the last two years,
I was impressed by our community's commitment to get back on track. Our
Raccoons were engaged and eager to take advantage of all the opportunities that
we provide at OHS, our staff worked harder than ever to address the individual
academic and developmental needs of each of our Raccoons, and our parents and
community partners were always willing and ready to lend a helping hand.
Everyone deserves the slower pace that comes with the summer months and I wish
everyone a safe and fun summer!
Outlined below are several updates regarding the close of the school year. Please take a moment to review them and let me know if you have any questions.
