OLSH grants qualifying families financial awards that are funded through The OLSH Fund, the school’s annual fund, as well as outside benefactors.

Angela Activities Center Fee
The OLSH Board of Directors implemented a $200 per student Activity Center Fee to cover the costs of operating the new Angela Activities Center, a place where students learn, study, compete, practice, eat, socialize, and relax, whether in the gym space, in the classrooms, or in the café. Because this new building benefits all students and hosts many functions (e.g. dances, grand march, graduation), the fee is applied to everyone.
