Holiday cheer filled OHS today as staff and teachers gathered for a Christmas celebration. The highlight of the day was gifting each team member a custom jacket, a small token of appreciation and a big symbol of Seminole pride. We are grateful for our OHS family and the commitment they show to our students and school community every day.
