Hi
Raccoons and Families!
Next week kicks off our annual Homecoming Celebrations! Homecoming is a chance
for generations of Raccoons from across the country to come together to
celebrate our shared experience of being Raccoons. It’s always fun to connect
with alumni, hear their stories, and learn how the past has shaped OHS today.
It’s also a chance for our current students and families to come together and
have fun as we kick off the new year. It’s a long, tiring, but fun week!
Oconomowoc
High School has been around for 144 years, and next week is our chance to
celebrate our Raccoon history, identity, and community! Outlined below are
details for the week. I look forward to seeing you at some of the events.
Please reach out with any questions!
Go
Raccoons!

Families
are invited to the Gale Douglas Fieldhouse for our Homecoming Pep Rally at
8:45am on Friday, September 25. Doors to the Fieldhouse will open at 8:30am.
Community
& Alumni Tours (Saturday, September 26 at 12:30pm - Meet at the Gale
Douglas Fieldhouse)
If you
haven’t been to campus for a while or want to show off OHS to any visiting
relatives, friends, or neighbors, join me along with the classes of 1966 and
1976 on a tour of our Campus. We will meet in the lobby of the Gale Douglas
Fieldhouse at 12:30pm.
Grand
Marshals
We will
honor the OHS Classes of 2020 and 2021 as our Grand Marshals for the Homecoming
Parade. The Class of 2020 lost out on the spring of their senior year and never
had a classwide graduation, and the Class of 2021 never had a senior-year
Homecoming. It will be exciting to have alumni representatives back for another
Ocon Night as we give them the Homecoming and recognition that many of them
missed out on.
Accountable
to Ourselves and Each Other
While
Homecoming is a fun week, we still have to be grounded, committed, and
accountable Raccoons! Classroom expectations won’t change, our community
commitments will be enforced, and everyone is still expected to bring the
energy to each class period.
Unofficial
traditions, like “TP Wars,” create unnecessary distractions and drama that take
away from the spirit of Homecoming. We cannot tolerate destructive behavior,
vandalism, and other inappropriate actions. Victims should contact their local
Police Departments to report any inappropriate or destructive behavior.
Homecoming is meant to be fun, not a stressful time where rules don’t apply.
