Stuff You Need to Know

Congratulations to the OLCHS Boy Bowling Team who participated in the State Finals this past weekend and finished 10th place in State! This was our best finish at State since the 2013 team that finished in 5th place.

Senior Charlie Dell was rolling well all weekend (pun intended) and finished tied for 10th place as an individual. He is an All-State medalist. This makes Charlie Oak Lawn’s 3rd All-State bowler and our first since 2015.

Congratulations to Charlie Dell, Justin Canvin, David Bush, Vinny McBrien, Peter Garcia, Zach Shane, Decimus Pecina, Ethan Aguinaga, Coach Neubauer, and Coach Walery on a historic season.  We are so proud of them all! Great work Spartans. #SpartanPride

Good morning, Spartans!

Get ready for the annual JCAB Lock-In coming up on Saturday, February 21st, from 6-10PM! This year's theme is “All around the world,” and everyone is invited to join the fun with an open gym and pool, Volleyball and Basketball tournaments, bean bags, video games, arts & crafts, movies, concessions, and much more! Tickets are only $10 and must be purchased online through the OLCHS Omella website—no tickets will be sold at the door. Look for QR codes on posters around school and in your school email to order tickets. Remember to bring your ticket receipt and student ID for entry. Bring your friends and get ready for an unforgettable night filled with excitement, good vibes, and fantastic memories!

TOMORROW Tuesday, February 3rd is our annual Paint the Gym Purple event! We wear purple to school that day and spend that together as a Spartan community to honor those who are fighting or have fought a battle with cancer. We have a full night of basketball with our Varsity Girls Basketball kicking things off at 5:00pm and Varsity Boys at 6:30pm. Paint the Gym Purple t-shirts are available for purchase in the cafeteria during lunch periods for $10. Supplies are limited so make sure to pick yours up soon! Funds from the event will go toward the Spartan Survivor Scholarship and Relay for Life.
