In order to update how students work out during Physical Education classes, the weight room has recently been updated and reorganized, most visibly with and a new jumbotron.  The changes, including structure and training with new programming, were implemented by PE teacher and track and field pole vault coach Tucker Platt.  “My experience here at OHS has been second to none," Platt said. "I have been blown away by the things we have been able to accomplish and implement in such a short period of time through working to unify all strength & speed training within the Kinetic Wellness Department.”

Tomorrow, the OH Black Student Association (BSA) is hosting the Black Excellence Ball, a celebration of the culture, achievement, and community at OH. OH senior and BSA board member Angela Hill said, “The Black Excellence Ball celebrates the success of our students with the minority honor roll award, and it celebrates unity as a club throughout the year.” According to the club, BSA is a place to bond with other students through a shared culture, and the Black Excellence Ball is a night set aside to represent the invoked culture that many students experience.

The SD#308 Board of Education has voted to change the school district's attendance boundaries for the 2026-2027 school year. While the changes do not impact OH students, they do include several subdivision boundaries which have been adjusted, and it does impact where some younger students will go to school. “In general, the goal of boundary adjustments is to balance enrollment, support long-term planning, and ensure students across the district have access to strong academic and extracurricular opportunities,” said SD#308 School Board President Dominick Cirone. Discussions for a change have been going on for almost a year with the goal to combat the increasing population in the district. The board passed the changes during the Jan. 26 board meeting.
