We couldn't let Assistant Principal week pass without honoring our favorite assistant principal, Mr. Booth! OSHS is so thankful for all he does for our school and our students. He *might* have run away from our Broadcast Journalism team when they broke out the camera, but Mr. Booth is very much appreciated this week and every week!
OSHS is thankful for our paraprofessionals who make our school a better place!
OSHS also won big earlier this week at the TMTA Math Competition. A majority of the students who competed scored in the Top 10 in their divisions with Noah Christy, 9th grade, placing 1st in Geometry and Braden Thomas, 10th grade, placing 2nd in Algebra. Look for that article next week to be published with more details!
