Today, OHS celebrated our state-qualifying golfers by reviving an old Orion tradition: marching the hallways to the school fight song. Congrats to Evelyn Wilbur, CJ Lister, and John Nedved!

Definitely a good day on the course for the OHS Boys and Girls Golf team as they both participated in the IHSA 1A Sectionals. We had 3 individuals from the boys team in Byron and the girls team (6 participants) at Valley View in Cambridge. Out of the 9 who competed today we had 3 punch their ticket to State!

Homecoming Parade Rain Date Plan - If the homecoming parade would be postponed due to rain, the makeup date will be Friday, October 2nd at 4:30pm.

Who wants to make dinner on a rainy, busy night? No one!

The Freshman and Sophomore classes have you covered--for Thursday night at least.

Rain or shine, parade difficulties or not, come into the Commons before the pep assembly and enjoy burgers, hot dogs, cheesy potatoes, and more, all while raising money for the graduating classes of 2029 and 2030. (We can't believe those are real graduation years approaching, either.)

Dinner starts at 5:30! We'll 'c' you there!

Homecoming has arrived! Here is the full schedule of events for this week. We are very aware that Mother Nature is ready to supply us with plenty of water for our Under the C Homecoming theme. Later today we will be sending out a backup plan for the parade if we would need to postpone.

Congratulations to Ian who was named the Auto Body Student of the Quarter at the Area Career Center. This recognition highlights students who consistently demonstrate dedication, responsibility, and a strong commitment to learning. Throughout the quarter, Ian has shown exceptional growth, positive leadership, and a genuine enthusiasm for his work. Congrats Ian!

Homecoming week under the "C" is officially underway at OHS! Staff met students at the entrance this morning to start the week off with some smiles and fun.

Congrats to the OHS Marching Band who competed in the Maple Leaf Classic Marching Showcase in Geneseo today. They received awards for Best Color Guard and 2nd place overall!

Congratulations to this year's homecoming court:
Freshmen Mallory Seabloom and Myles Porumb, Sophomores Brinley Fisher and Max Hessler, and Juniors Evelyn Wilbur and Dylan Nelson.

Senior candidates for king and queen include Sadie Appel, Abby Downing, Gracie Pokrajac, Mason Laleman, Spencer Holst, and Kaden Cirks.

Coronation will take place on Thursday, October 1 at the community pep rally following the parade and dinner.

Congratulations to Sadie, our September student of the month. Sadie was selected by the faculty and staff of Orion High School due to her leadership, responsibility within the classroom and willingness to learn. Take some time and get to know this outstanding student.

A little bit of rain didn't stop these guys from a good day on the course yesterday at the TRAC Conference meet at Emerald Hills, placing 3rd over all! Great job guys and keep it rolling as we head into Regionals next week!
