Staff Editorial: OH’s planned improvements for next year
Looking back on the 2023-24 school year, there have been several highlights. Between clubs, activities, and classes, students have been hard at work all year. As we draw to the end of the year, it is important to reflect and think about next year. There are always things to improve upon, here's what 42Fifty is looking forward to in the coming school year. “We partner with a variety of outside consultants to enhance the student experience,” said OH principal Christopher Grays. The school has worked tirelessly in collaboration with the district, state administration, and the community to improve OH. “We conducted walkthroughs. I know also we have done a phenomenal job with the district office with trying to survey our students, specifically our high school students and both OH and OEHS, to amplify that student voice so that way we can consider the voice of the students when making decisions,” said Grays.
