OCHS Principal'sUpdateMay 2026

A Note From Mrs. Burton

As we begin to close out the school year, I want to sincerely thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education at OCHS. Our school is a truly special place—one built on high expectations, hard work, and a strong sense of joy and community.

In these past few weeks, we’ve started to experience many “lasts” with our seniors. It’s easy to overlook how meaningful these moments are as the pace of each school day moves so quickly, but they are worth pausing for. This past quarter, we’ve also focused on what it means to be UNSTOPPABLE at OCHS—a mindset our staff and students have embraced in inspiring ways.

To our senior parents, I encourage you to stay connected with our school community. You remain an important part of who we are at O-C, and your presence is important.

As summer approaches, I hope your days are filled with meaningful time together, creating memories and enjoying your children.

Thank you again for being part of our OCHS family.

Mrs. Burton
