Welcome Night for the Class of 2028

We are excited to welcome the Class of 2028 and their parents to our OLSH Welcome Night event on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00 pm!

This event consists of two separate sessions—one for parents, and one for incoming students.

The Parent/Guardian Information Session will take place in the OLSH Auditorium, and will include a review of all important upcoming dates and information for the summer and fall as well as an explanation of your child’s class schedule and placement test results. Information packets containing these items will be handed out at registration to the parent/guardian on record for each student.

The Class of 2028 Student Session will take place in the Angela Activities Center (AAC, OLSH's gymnasium) on the same night! This session will be led by current OLSH students and will include team building exercises, friendly competition, opportunities to sign up for sports and activities meeting over the summer, and an overview of the many unique aspects and traditions of OLSH!
