The first "Freshman Academy" Meeting of the 2025-2026 School Year was held yesterday (11.13.25) in the auditorium.
On the behalf of all The Freshman Academy Faculty Members, we would like to thank the OHS Administrative Team who approved Mr. Elair's Seminar and made the arrangement for students to be kept under the care of other educators.
In the midst of a fire drill, The Freshman Academy Members: Ms. Hicks, Ms. Gallow, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Hines-Williams, Mrs. Washington, Ms. Castile, Mrs. Tyler, Ms. Hallcy , and Mr. Elair overlooked the group of students to keep them in a central designated area, and all of the students returned back into the auditorium afterwards.
Acknowledgements also go to the wonderful faculty members who accepted the students that were not part of the Freshman Academy Assembly. Thank you for accepting the remaining Tigers in your classes during each of the periods.
Tomorrow our Tigers are taking the roar on the road to Pearl River for the 1st round playoff showdown. Let’s show up loud and proud — Tiger Nation, bring the energy!
