Attention Parents of Sophomores - Next Friday, November 4 is the final day to sign up for the PLAN.  The PLAN is a pre-ACT test and gives students a good idea of how the ACT differs from the SAT.  This will help when they begin taking college admissions exams their junior year.  The plan will be given the morning of November 9 and the cost is $16.  To sign up, all they need to do is bring their money to Joyce Oliver in the front office.

Attention Parents and Students: OCHS has only two designated drop-off/pick-up locations. One drop off/pick-up location is at the front of the school at the front entrance and the other location is at the rear of the school in the Back Parking Lot by the OCHS Practice Gym. These are the ONLY locations any student drop offs or pick ups should occur.

Increased traffic in our parking lots created by dropping off or picking up, increases the possibility of accidents and presents a safety hazard to our students who are trying to master driving and parking and who are relatively inexperienced drivers. Please help us keep our students safe and our campus accident free!
