OMHS appreciates the great community support we have during our athletic events!  We expect a huge turnout for all of our home football games this year. For the safety of all, no one will be allowed to loiter behind the football stands or in any of the flowerbeds.  It is necessary that children are supervised by their parents or an accompanying adult at all time.  Thank you for your help in keeping all of our students safe.  

Academic Partners and the PTO are excited to announce the first WHAT DO YOU NEED WEDNESDAY sale during lunch on Wednesday, Sept 11.   We will be hosting these sales the second Wed of each month to allow students to purchase any school supplies they might have used up or misplaced.  The items being offered are listed on the attached flyer.  Proceeds will go to fund projects of the PTO.  Based on how the sales go in the fall, additional sale dates may be added after the holidays.
