On Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2023, attendees to the Special Education Department’s fundraiser at Culver's in Oswego helped raise money towards scholarships for Oswego High School students. During that event, 20 percent of all Culver's sales were to this cause, which will assist students with their plans.
“At curriculum night, they donated a whole bunch of free ice cream to spread the word, put flyers out, and sent things out to families,” said Cara Brown, Department Chair for Special Education.“In total $691.85 was raised.”
New OH club connects students to health careers, leadership, and service. For the first time in school history, OH has launched HOSA Future Health Professionals for the 2025–26 school year. This year-long club helps students explore health careers, build leadership, and volunteer.
HOSA is an international organization that connects students to health-related experiences and competitions. At OH, HOSA also integrates the American Red Cross, giving members opportunities to volunteer at football games, blood drives, and local service projects. With more than 100 students signed up and a strong first-meeting turnout, HOSA is already making an impact.
