Maroon and White Night will be on Friday, November 10. The doors will open at 5:15 and will start at 5:30. All of our teams have been practicing and playing hard. Make plans to come out to support them as they showcase their skills and talents.
One night, two events, FREE FOOD! Today, 4-6 PM, the OCHS GEAR UP will host Junior Night and Senior Night. Both groups will hear about the big changes happening to the FAFSA and what that means for your student and then separate into different rooms for grade-specific content.
Pictured are several hands-on science activities in Mrs. Price's classes including students' building electromagnetic straws to investigate charge fields, a blind scent test to activate long term memories and emotions associated with smells through the body's sensory receptors, and 9th graders exploring a star's nuclear fusion process of hydrogen and neutron elements becoming helium-4 in an element smash activity using Red Hots and marshmallows.
Great wins tonight for the 7th and 8th grade boys versus a big and talented Magoffin County team. 7th grade won their game 44-34 being led in scoring by Bryson Bowling with 23 and Eelan Bobrowski-Hall with 11 and rebounding was led again by Kelten Smith with 8 rebounds. The 8th grade won their game 52-26 and was led in scoring by Andrew Terry with 25 points and Jordan McCoy with 22. Jordan also went 5 for 6 from the 3-point line tonight. The 8th grade was also led in rebounds by Matthew Wright with 9 and Andrew Terry with 8. Another big stat to take away from the 8th grade game was there was only a total of 7 turnovers in the whole game. Very proud of these boys as they are on the right track and get better every day. Their next game is away at OBI on Friday and we would love to see as many of our fans there as we can get!

D&D sports welcomes Owsley County Owls/Lady Owls into their coverage area.
Last Thursday, students in OCMHS physical education classes participated in an inflatable obstacle course, nicknamed the "Bootcamp Challenge", and coordinated by FSCS Coordinator Lori Lewis and SSG Thorpe of the KY National Guard.
OCHS juniors, seniors, and parents are invited to an evening with KHEAA and KCTCS representatives (see attached flyers). After grabbing food and learning about important KHEAA updates, juniors and seniors (and their parents) will be divided into separate rooms to learn about grade-specific planning information.
Seniors will be assisted in creating an FSA ID for themselves and any parents who do not already have one (see the flyer for info on what you'll need to bring). The upcoming FAFSA is unlike any other FAFSA in the past. The application has undergone a complete “remodel.” Those in attendance will learn about the important changes in format and definition.
Juniors will begin planning for their upcoming senior year. Mrs. Vanessa Johnson will relay important information about dual credit, scholarships, work-study, and more. A representative from KCTCS will share more about opportunities for both career-focused and college-focused students.
