Congratulations to Ariana Katsov on her signing of intent to continue her education and athletic career at Baylor University. Ariana is a former champion with USA Acrobatics. She will be competing with Baylor Acrobatics and Tumbling starting in the fall of 2026.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

This past week our OHS Choir program had 7 students eligible to audition for the Missouri All-State Choir. We received the results on Sunday. We are so proud of all of the hard work each student put in to prepare for the auditions on top of everything else they are working on! Here were our results:

Honorable Mention: Elliott Cooper & Kaitlyn Lange

Bass 1st Alternate: Eli Shields

Tenor All-State: Ashden Murphy

Ashden and Eli will rehearse with the other Central District students who were in the top 6 scores of their section in January. The top 4 scores from each section will perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association Conference on the last Saturday of January, and should something happen and another bass not be able to make their commitment, Eli will move up to take the spot.

All 4 students will also be invited to sing with the Missouri All-State Festival Choir in Springfield next July.

OHS DECA Spirit Week is this week!

CONGRATULATIONS to these 5 singers for auditioning and being selected for the Southwest American Choral Directors Association Regional Honor Choirs! These students prepared and recorded three components in September/early October and have waited until now to find out the results. They will join students from Missouri and 6 other states (Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas) in March 2026 in Albuquerque, New Mexico to rehearse/learn from world-renowned clinicians before putting on a concert for music educators from these 7 states and family members who make the trip.

Due to safety concerns with the weather, the OHS Marching band will not be traveling to the Park Hills band competition tomorrow. We are extremely proud of our band and all of the success that they have had this year. Come out to see their performance at the halftime show for homecoming this evening!

Tomorrow at homecoming, be sure to check out the band if you are looking for a funnel cake or a GCR2 umbrella! Also, you DO NOT want to miss the halftime show! The OHS Marching Band is coming off winning first place at their last band competition. The field show this year is truly spectacular!
