The Newsletter of OECHS -- July 9, 2019
Great Job on AP Exams, Owls!
Here are the results for the percentage of students with 3s, 4s, and 5s:
AP World History
Global (55.3%), NC (59.2%), OECHS Target (61.8%), OECHS Actual (64.7%)
AP Environmental Science
Global (49.2%), NC (51.2%), OECHS Target (52.5%), OECHS Actual (64.7%)
For those that did not get a level 3 or higher, do not fret! You still get AP credit towards your high school GPA and will still earn over 60 transferable credits through CCCC!
Once again, congratulations to our students and teachers for a job well-done!

Fall 2019 OVA Health and PE for Rising Freshmen and Other OVA Classes
Please fill out the link below sometime within the next two weeks so that Mrs. Childress, OVA Director, can enroll you in the course and you will be ready to start at the beginning of the semester.
In addition to Health and PE, sometimes our students like to take other courses through OVA. Many of our students have completed high school courses while in middle school. We highly encourage students that have completed high school courses, such as English I and Math II, to take the honors-level course at OECHS to be better prepared for the rigors of upper-level and college math courses.
Students that have had World History or Earth Science in middle school will take AP World History and AP Environmental Science at OECHS. Students will be able to earn a significant boost to their GPA, earn additional college credits, and enhance their transcripts for college recruitment and selection.
Those that have taken English I or Math II that prefer to take an alternative course have the option of taking an honors-level course through Onslow Virtual Academy. This year, OECHS students can take Physics Honors, Forensic Science Honors, Anatomy and Physiology Honors, Psychology Honors, and Sociology Honors.
Contact Mr. Strope at 910-938-6701 or james.strope@onslow.k12.nc.us to discuss registration for an OVA honors-level class!

ACT Prep for Juniors
We are going to use several ACT Prep resources this year. The first that I want you to sign up for is https://www.prepfactory.com/u/vBok0. I have created a class for OECHS Juniors and will be able to activate the pre-assessments once some folks join. From that point, the program should guide you with areas that need some additional practice!
The second site is https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/test-preparation.htm. You will need to scroll down the ACT site and click on the blue box that says "Start Practicing with ACT Academy". ACT offers a question-a-day, practice tests, and other resources once you register your profile.
It is never too early to prep for the ACT!
