The OHS Leadership Class selected Crossroads Day School as the recipient of the funds raised during Charity Week this year. Thanks to their incredible efforts, a total of $13,034 was raised! These funds will go directly toward enhancing student learning at Crossroads Day School. Earlier this year, Crossroads' principal, Don Maskill, delivered a presentation to the leadership class telling them that, if Crossroads was selected, the money would be used for PBIS initiatives, microscopes for science class, resources for the library, field trips, and more. He stated that he'd also love to add a flagpole and flag by the girls' school. Mr. Maskill and the Crossroads team are all so grateful and appreciative of the work the OHS students, staff, and school community have done for Crossroads ❤️ What an outstanding way to make a positive impact—great job, Wildcats! 🐾 #OCSWildcats #WorldclassWildcats

Big props to the OHS admin team for bringing the fun on Day 1 of Charity Week! 😂 Their dodgeball team, the Screaming Goats, had everyone cracking up and made for a great start to the week! 🐐 #OCSWildcats #WorldClassWildcats

What an unforgettable season for our boys varsity basketball team! With a 21-1 record in the regular season, they fought hard in the state tournament this week but came up just short against Davison. While the loss was heartbreaking, we couldn’t be prouder of how they handled themselves both on and off the court. This photo, graciously shared by Davison's photographer, Rusty Bashore, perfectly captures the spirit of our Wildcats. We're proud of our team, their character, and the incredible season they gave us. 💙💛 #OCSWildcats #WorldclassWildcats
