STUDENT INFO

 

All ORHS library books are now due back to the library. Please return them as soon as possible.

 

Congratulations to Rylie Dickens, who won the 2020-2021 Best Major Author Essay Award for her essay “Finding Identity: The Search and Subversion in A Lesson Before Dying.” She argues that Grant’s and Jefferson’s search for identity transforms racist oppression into a revolutionary attitude, enabling the community to improve and strengthen its commitment to equality. Her essay stands out because of its sophisticated argument, scholarly rigor, and elegant style. Congratulations, Rylie!

 

Yearbooks will be distributed during Guided Study classes this week. If you do not have a Guided Study, we will find you to distribute your book! You will need your student ID to verify your identity to receive your book. The remaining books will be on sale during lunch in CS328, Ms. Hale’s room, by $85 CASH ONLY. No checks will be accepted. Once the books here are sold, they will be sold out for the year and no longer available to purchase. Students who do not have a Guided Study will have their books distributed next week during English classes. (5/10-5/14) – R. Hale
