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 Thursday morning, OLCHS. This is your Black History fact for today, Feb 5, 2026. By now, we have all used programs like Google Meets or Zoom, especially when it is too cold to come to school or in the case of six years ago, when there is a global pandemic like Covid-19. But did you know that the technology that is used to hold virtual classes or meetings on these programs was invented by a Black woman? Marian Rogers Croak, born in 1955 in New York, led a team that would patent Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VoIP for short. This technology makes it possible for sounds and voices to be digitally coded and deciphered, allowing it to be transmitted over internet connections. Because of her invention, she is one of only two Black women to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. She has also been inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame, the National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. This has been your Black History fact for Feb 5, 2026. Remember, Black History is American History!
