All incoming OHS students for the 2026-2027 school year, attached are your options for summer school starting next week on Wednesday. If you take summer school classes to knock out necessary credits for graduation, it simply frees up your schedule during the school year.

Your options are below:

SESSION 1: May 27th to June 8th (8:15 am - 3:15 pm)
SESSION 2: June 9th to June 19th (8:15 am - 3:15 pm)
