When we say our SROs, administrators, teachers, and faculty go above and beyond, THIS is what we are talking about! A student wanted to be able to get himself to and from extracurricular activities so today SRO, Cpl Jeff Shirley bought and delivered a bike to him. We don't know who was more excited - Zander or those staff members who got to witness it. Peep the sign in the third picture - HUMAN. KIND. BE BOTH. It's a great day to be a RAM!
The class of 2022 voted this year on the teachers at PHS that influenced them the most and changed their lives. The winners are Kelli Rollins-Stidham, Kelly Reddick, and John Clark. The following are a few quotes about why they were chosen. They will receive a special feature in this year's yearbook! The following were written by students:
“Mrs. Rollins-Stidham has impacted my life in so many ways. I am so grateful for the bond I have been able to create with such an inspiring woman. She wants the best for her students and loves to watch each one of us grow as well as succeed."
"Mrs. Reddick has been a very influential person in not only my personal life, but also the class of 2022. She will uplift you if you are having a bad day and she is always all ears if you need someone to talk to. She has given us seniors the best high school experience possible!"
"I voted for Mr. Clark because of his devotion to us students. He is someone I can trust, joke with, and rely on. He is so compassionate about his job and the way he teaches; the feelings that show us he cares means the most."
It's a GREAT day to be a Ram!

Check it out! 18 OGMS students and staff members took the plunge last Saturday - the Polar Plunge that is! While that is awesome, the best part is the school raised over $2,100 to donate to the Special Olympics. Great job, OGMS!
