After years of waiting, lacrosse officially became a sanctioned IHSA sport in 2016, marking a significant change for all players and fans in the community, with the first state series in 2018. Now, lacrosse has come to OH and has started their first season. Lacrosse players across the US and those at OH have long advocated for the inclusion of the sport.  "I've been pushing for [[SD#308]] to have lacrosse here since my freshman year, so I'm glad they finally added it,” said senior Jackson Daylor.

The week building up to prom brings many opinions for attending students. Many worry about what to wear or who to go with, but some students also have to worry about promposals. Just like asking someone to homecoming, promposals are done by a student inviting another student to attend prom with them.  "I'm really excited for this year," said OH senior Mikey Claycombe. "It's my senior year and I know my girlfriend is gonna be really happy and excited."
