Principal Corner
The 2023-2024 school year is coming in hot! (Literally, we're very thankful for an air-conditioned building this week).
After a long summer of planning, our staff welcomed students back into the building on Monday. It's always incredibly gratifying to see the hallways fill up with students again after the summer break. Our teachers are working hard to set the stage for excellence over the course of the school year, and I saw a tremendous amount of genuine connections taking place between staff and students.
There is a lot going on at the start of the school year, so please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We're grateful that your student is part of OHS, and we're excited for the school year!

Relationships First
All of our teachers took time to get to know students and introduce themselves
Foreign Exchange Students
We're offering a new class called "Cultural Bridges" this year to help welcome our foreign exchange students to OHS.
Lunch Time
It's great to see students interacting with each other at lunch and in the hallways!
Yearbook News
We still have a few 2021 and 2022 yearbooks available for sale. The cost of these yearbooks is $85.00 cash or check made payable to Otsego Public Schools. If you already purchased one of these books but haven't picked it up yet, please go to the office to get yours!
You can still order your last year's 2023 yearbooks. Orders close on August 31, and this deadline cannot be extended. You can order the yearbooks online at www.balfour.com, or over the phone at 1-800-225-3687. After that date, you will have to take your chances that there will be extras available when they come in later this fall.
