Girls Rugby Update
Girls Rugby finished up their season with the JV team taking 2nd in Districts, losing 12-10. The Varsity team took 2nd in Districts after a 12-12 tie in the championship game and losing in a kickoff in the 8th round.
Varsity went to State as the #2 seed. They beat Mtn View and Rocky before losing to Eagle in the Championship game 7-5. The girls ended their season 12-5-1. They did awesome and learned valuable life lessons.
We look forward to growing the sport in the spring and hope to have two varsity teams.

Substitute Teachers Needed at OHS
As we roll into the fall and winter months, the need for substitute teachers remains a concern here at OHS. Last year when we reached out to our Storm Community parents, guardians, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, all rallied and came through for us in such amazing ways!
We are again having a difficult time finding adequate substitute teachers for our students. If you or someone you know is interested in helping to cover classes at OHS and ONLY OHS please complete the interest form below. Individuals would need to complete the substitute teacher application on the WASD website (linked below), complete fingerprinting, and pass a background check. These are all things we can help fast-track when you fill out the interest form.
Thank you for being part of our Storm Community and for helping the students and staff navigate the post-pandemic issues we continue to face here at OHS.
Sincerely,
OHS Administration
