Tickets for Otsego's Spring Musical "The Addams Family" are ON SALE NOW!

This creepy, kooky, and altogether spooky show features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before– keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on a fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Thursday, March 23rd @ 7:00pm

Friday, March 24th @ 7:00pm

Dear Community Businesses,

Contributions from local companies like YOU help make the price of our yearbook affordable for so many of our students who would have to pass it by. We have been able to lower the cost to our students from $80 per book to only $65! We would love to see it reach $50! Or even better, be FREE!! Yes, some schools reach that goal!!!

This year the Otsego Yearbook’s theme is “social media”, and this creates a unique opportunity for 3 ad options:

1. The traditional “Sponsor Section” with a full quarter page ad at $50

2. An ad on one of the yearbook pages that looks like an ad on a social media feed for $25

3. The same social media look ad but you get to choose what topic page in the yearbook your ad is on for $35

Ads will contain your logo, contact information and any message you would like to include. You could share information about your business, send a message to the community or a personal message to the Knights. We would love to reserve you a spot!!!

Just complete the form below and return it along with your payment by December 1, 2022, to Otsego High School, (Yearbook), 18505 Tontogany Creek Rd. Suite 2, Bowling Green, OH 43402

We do need to adhere to this date as we are limited to the total number of pages in our yearbook and planning is crucial. Our standard ad donation is 25$- $50, but we won’t argue if you are feeling generous! THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support and for helping us prove it is always...

“It's Good to be a Knight!”

Highest Regards,

The Otsego Yearbook Staff

Recent polls show that parents’ first concern about schools today is their child’s safety. That is my concern as well. Fortunately, the Otsego is very safe. However, no community is immune from the threats of violence and drugs that endanger public schools nationwide.

We are introducing a Safe School Helpline® to help prevent such actions. It is designed to assist you in reporting any wrongdoing that impacts our schools, our students, or our staff – anonymously, so as to protect your privacy. For example, you may wish to report acts of violence, theft, drug or alcohol use, weapons, or sexual harassment.

Just call from a touch-tone phone to 1-800-4-1-VOICE, ext. 359 (418-6423) to leave your information. Or TEXT: 614-426-0240 Then type: TIPS Your message will not be traced, and you will not be identified. The Safe School Helpline® team will transcribe and fax your message to school officials, so appropriate action can be taken.

Thank you for your continued support to provide a better education for all Otsego students.
