What better way than to start the morning off with coffee and donuts? Well, OH staff would say the better way is to have those items delivered by some of OH’s most kind-hearted students.
Many of the students in OH's special education program deliver coffee and donuts to teachers every Tuesday and Friday during first period and bring joy to the school day, and it has brought benefits to the students, too.
“It’s fun because I get to do jobs,” said OH senior Evan Bates, a student who participates in the Cup of Happiness program.
As the '25-26 school year comes to a close, a new OH club, Club America, is on the rise. With this club officially opening back in January, membership numbers have steadily increased, and plans for the '26-27 school year are already underway.
“It’s a place where [[club members]] can come and express their opinions freely,” Club America sponsor and AP Chemistry teacher Lesli Barron said. “It gives them a place where they know that their rightful presence is respected.”
The goal of the club is to allow students to have an outlet for civil discourse while learning more about present-day issues around the world.
Today, 42Fifty published the first issue of its new literary magazine, The Muse, highlighting OH student artwork and creative writing. In our world of short attention spans, rapid-fire entertainment, and the flood of AI-generated content, it is more important than ever for high school students to slow down and appreciate their peers’ creativity.
“I think with the Fine Arts, it invites you to come and ... slow things down and just ponder… I remember my art teacher in college told me that the average dealer in an art museum sees works only for three seconds. So, I mean, this is a lot about our attention span, and so our art has a way of being meditative and [[taking a]] moment to enjoy how much hard work went into it,” OH Fine Arts Department Chair Michael Skura said.
Now more than ever, emphasizing the value of student art and writing is important.
