OMS students are working on their pickleball unit! Some of these students are the real "dill!" They are "relishing" in their pickleball abilities, and some have found their "bread and butter." We hope this unit "pickled" their fancy! 🥒🥒🥒

Congratulations to Mason Hock who has been named the OHS Student of the Month for November. Mason was selected by the faculty and staff of Orion High School due to his responsibility, leadership and integrity within the classroom. Take some time and get to know this outstanding student.
What did one of Mason's teachers have say about him?
When some students can be unmotivated about the process of learning, Mason has always been excited and ready to learn. He has a huge heart, and has never had a late or missing assignment. He is also an incredibly resilient and optimistic student even when things might be challenging. He’s also incredibly caring and once drew Abraham Lincoln as SpongeBob for me when I was having a hard time just to bring a smile to my face.
Congratulations Mason!
