The 2021-2022 SGA elections for officer and representative positions will be held in August at both OMMS and OMHS, and applications will be available at that time.  However, interested 8th graders may go ahead and pick up the application while still at OMMS so that current teachers and counselors can sign the form.  The 9th grade SGA application is available in A17, and is due back to Mrs. Higginbotham by May 14.  The applications will then be sent to OMHS to be used in August. 

Students that need to replace their agenda due to loss or condition can purchase new agendas in the OMMS Front Office.  $5 cash or check.  Exact change is preferred and much appreciated.
