ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS
An Important Change on Student ID's

Beginning this year, all faculty, staff, administration, and students will have to wear their student ID using a lanyard. Everyone will be required to wear IDs that are visible as a matter of safety and security. All students will be issued a new ID during the first week of school.

 

Personnel Changes

Every summer brings with it a time of personnel changes in public schools due to retirements, resignations, etc. I am pleased to announce that OAHS has experienced great success in filling personnel openings this summer. The foundation to our excellent school is our professional educators who give tremendous amounts of time and their talent to our students. The dedication of our educators is second to none. I am pleased to report that I have been quite busy adding to our professional teaching community this summer. I have hired five outstanding new personnel to join our excellent core of educators. Here is a brief outline of the changes in personnel that we are undertaking.
