Over spring break, OHS AP World History students explored the rich history of Berlin and Munich, visiting landmarks like the Munich Cathedral, Olympic Stadium, and Dachau Memorial Site. In Berlin, they experienced the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Topography of Terror Museum, gaining first hand insight into history. Guided walking tours deepened their appreciation for the cities, making the trip a powerful, immersive lesson beyond the classroom. Stay tuned as more photos come in!

Spanish 4 students explored the flavors of Spain by learning about traditional foods, then cooking and savoring those dishes. The menu featured Patatas Bravas, Pan y Chorizo, Paella (a saffron rice dish), Brazo de Gitano (a delicious rolled cake), rosquillas (lemony donuts), torrijas (similar to French toast), and more. The students demonstrated exceptional culinary skills, and everyone had a wonderful time.

The Boy’s Varsity Baseball team wasn’t fooling around when their season kicked off on April Fool’s Day! With an impressive 9-4 victory over the Wautoma Hornets, they set the tone for an exciting season ahead. Talk about starting strong—way to go, Foxes!

Alex raced to first in the 800M, while Mason H flew to victory in the 60M Hurdles. Nick secured second in the 800M, Lucas followed up with a strong second in the 1600M, and Liam claimed second in the Shot Put. Blake soared to second in the High Jump. Meanwhile, Madeline, Ralphie, and Keagan showed their strength with third-place finishes in the 200M, 400M, and Triple Jump, respectively.

Then, on Tuesday, April 1, the team competed at the UW-Oshkosh Boys D2 Indoor Meet, where six athletes once again earned spots in the top five! Mason H continued his dominance with another first-place finish in the 60M Hurdles, while Lucas claimed second in both the 800M and 1600M. Ralphie finished second in the 200M, and Alex followed with second in the 800M.
