Congratulations go out to the following students Alex, Maeley, and Vanessa and our staff member Ms. Keuhnl for being chosen as this week's Fox Friday winners! Thank you for demonstrating the characteristics of the Fox Four and for being such great role models!! We are proud of you!

Cade B, a soon to be 2026 graduate, signed his commitment for full-time employment as a Registered Apprentice with JF Ahern (Fond du Lac) and the Local 400 Plumbers and Steamfitters Union Tuesday morning during the signing event.
This transition is a direct result of Cade’s hard work during his Youth Apprenticeship. By gaining hands-on experience and industry-specific skills early on, he was able to turn his passion into a full-time career path. Congratulations, Cade and all the best to you in your future with Ahern!

One final congratulations goes out to the 2026 OHS Forensics Team! Due to dangerous weather, the State Meet on location at UW Madison was canceled and we had to go virtual this year. Despite that disappointment, the team still did fantastic! We brought home 5 gold medals (Adessa, LETICIA, Raina, Kaia, and Tyler) who all earned a perfect score of 20/20! We also brought home 2 silver medals (Brady and Katie) and 2 bronze medals (Ava and Audrey). It was a great season and we are looking forward to next year already! If you are interested in learning about Forensics, email Mrs. Clinch at sclin@omro.k12.wi.us!

Thank you to Tyofables Garden & Greenhouse of Omro for donating flowers and beautifying the Omro Area Community Center!

Thank you Omro seniors and NHS members Addison, Lainey, and JoAnn for spending their first day off of school planting flowers.

A HUGE Thank You goes out to the Omro HS Key Club and NHS held their annual spring highway cleanup on May 9th. They enjoyed the sunshine and cleaning up our town!

On April 26th, eight student were inducted as the newest members of Omro National Honor Society! These students applied and were selected based on the four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Congratulations!

"Our Story" was open for business on Tuesday, May 12 from 11:00-1:00 and served 25 customers. Their menu consisted of Applejack Turkey Grilled Sandwich, Pizza Melt, Caesar Pasta Salad, Grape Salad and Scotcheroos.

And then on Thursday, May 14, students ran the "Galaxy Grill" from 11:00-1:00 and served 30 customers. Their menu consisted of BBQ Chicken Wrap, Italian Grilled Cheese, Potato Salad, Neapolitan Cookies, and Galaxy Punch.

What a delicious way to end the year!!

Students in Mrs. Morse's Advanced Culinary Arts class ended their semester together by participating in a class version of the Food Network Show "Chopped." The final round of competition put three students head to head to prepare a plate presentation in 25 minutes that consisted of using boneless chicken breast, creamy chicken Ramen noodles, pineapple chunks, and Chex Buffalo Chicken Remix. The three chefs presented their plates to the panel of judges who evaluated the plates on appearance, taste, and creative use of the required ingredients. Congratulations to Chef Mason who earned the title of "Chopped Champion" for his dish.

The Omro Foxes Girls' Varsity soccer team pulled out the win against the Campbellsport Cougars last night on their home field with a score of 2-0! Congratulations, Lady Foxes!!
