The OHCHS National Honor Society had fun at their annual banquet and convention! Cedar Worster, the Maine National Honor Society Representative at Large, helped in planning the convention, and even led a workshop! Students participated in various workshops centered around resilience. It was a fantastic experience for our young leaders!

And...WE'RE BACK!


PSAT's will be offered at school on Wednesday, ​A​pril 15th. This testing date is open to Sophomores only.

Taking the PSAT as a sophomore is a great low-pressure way to see your academic strengths, and identify areas to improve. It helps you get familiar with the testing format early, build confidence, and set goals for junior year​. Think of it as a practice run that helps you prepare for your future.

If you know an interested sophomore, please tell them to check their email for the sign-up link.
