Students in Mr. Johnson's Civics classroom learn how to construct legal arguments and about the justice system in their mock trial. Students participated in a variety of roles including jury, defendant, witnesses, and legal teams. Officer Lester was also a witness on the stand today.
Teenagers fighting to the death? Check. A mysterious maze filled with traps? Check. A society divided into factions? Double check. What happens when all those stories collide? Total chaos, that's what! Will they find freedom? Love? A decent snack? Or will the Gamemasters next twist finish them all off?
There are three opportunities to catch the show and find out: Friday, November 7th at 7:00 pm, Saturday November 8th 7:00pm, and Sunday November 9th 2:00pm in the OHS Auditorium (right in through the pillar doors). All tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for students, and free for children 5 and under.
With OES dismissing early today and OJSHS running on the regular schedule, the MyRideK-12 app may send out incorrect drop-off notifications for OJSHS families. To keep things on track, drivers will log in to the Wednesday p.m. routes at each school’s dismissal time. This may result in families receiving multiple notifications. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any confusion this may cause.

Join OJSHS in celebrating our September Senior of the Distinction - Lux Tran!
“It is my pleasure to nominate Lux Tran for this award. I have had the privilege of teaching him in both Algebra 2 and AP Precalculus, In every instance, he has demonstrated an exceptional work ethic and genuine passion for learning. He consistently pushes himself to understand the material at a deep and meaningful level. He has never once hesitated to assist a struggling peer and his love for learning is truly contagious to anyone around him.
Beyond the classroom, he exemplifies the character of an Oregon Hawk. He is kind, empathetic, respectful and dedicated to not only his academics, but to his community as well. Community service is a top priority in his life. No matter the day or time, I know I can count on Lux to attend any and all community service events. His reliability, leadership, and humble nature make him an excellent role model for his peers and our younger Hawks alike.
I am incredibly proud of Lux and have no doubt that he will go on to accomplish incredible things!” –Mrs. Angela Reynolds, OJSHS Teacher
