Our very own Theatre and Drama teacher, Adrienne Gonzalez, was the Wicked Witch of the West! The students enjoyed seeing their teacher and Drama Club advisor perform. OHS alumni Samuel Nicks, Shania Wilson, and CJ Satterfield were also cast in this production.

The vocal music department ( @owensvillechoirs) was busy yesterday with the Central District Middle School All-District Choir in Waynesville and the Four Rivers High School Conference Choir in Union. 🖤🧡
Owensville Middle School had 20 singers from the OMS Honor Choir participate in this year’s All-District Choir. They’ve been working in class on this year’s difficult music to prepare for a full day of rehearsals with other students from the Central District before putting on a concert for parents/family/friends at Waynesville High School. They also got to spend the day learning from an amazing director, Mr. Zachary Stelzer, who currently teaches in the KC area. A HUGE THANK YOU to OHS teacher Mrs. Behrens for helping Mrs. Ward by driving and chaperoning this amazing group today!!!
Last fall, 25 of our Owensville High School Troubadours members auditioned for the Four Rivers Conference Choir, and 16 of those 25 were selected. They’ve spent time during January working on the four songs for this year’s choir so that they could travel to Union High School for a full day of rehearsals with their guest director, Dr. Jordan Cox from Missouri Baptist University. It was a wonderful day of creating art together, which culminated in a performance for parents/family/friends. This choir will come together again on Tuesday, February 10th to sing at Hermann High School (9:30 am) and Union High School (1:00 pm) during the school day.

Attached in the image below is the Winter Homecoming itinerary for this Friday night. We only list the start time for the Varsity Dutchgirls Basketball game. Everything else will start as the previous event ends.
Last week, senior Troubadours member Ashden Murphy participated in the 2026 Missouri All-State Choir as part of the Missouri Music Educators Association Conference in Lake of the Ozarks. Ashden spent three full days rehearsing incredibly difficult/complex music with 191 other top junior/senior singers from around the state.
These students had the opportunity to learn from a world-class conductor, Dr. Edith Copley, who was the Director of Choral Studies at Northern Arizona University for 32 years before retiring in 2022. She also served as president of the American Choral Directors Association from 2023-2025. After these three long, fulfilling days of rehearsal and musical growth, the Missouri All-State Choir put on a phenomenal concert for music educators, family, and friends on Saturday, January 31st, at 2:30 pm.
Congratulations Ashden, and thank you for representing our school and community with pride and excellence!
