A Message from our Principal, Mr. Pflugrath...
Dear Osbourn Family,
I hope you and your family are well. Last week our students were very busy with their academics, athletics, the tree lighting ceremony, and the Manassas Christmas Parade on Saturday.
Monday, December 4th is our monthly college and military spirit day. A goal of ours is to promote a culture of college and career readiness at Osbourn, so dress in your favorite college or military clothes to unite us all towards a common goal. Tuesday, is an Early Release day for all students and they will be dismissed at 12:20 pm. Teachers will use this time for instructional planning. Please join the Osbourn Counseling staff on the evening of Tuesday, December 5th at 6:30 pm in the library. We cordially invite all 11th grade parents as we will be covering postsecondary options including 2 and 4 year colleges, military options, employment, and career and technical schools. We will also discuss how to get financial aid. By delivering this earlier this year, we hope to give families more time to act on the information provided. We look forward to seeing you! On Wednesday, December 6th, we are hosting our CTE Financial Literacy Night at 5:30 pm in the library. I hope you can come out and see our Choral Concert on Thursday, December 7th at 7 pm in the auditorium.
Students, please take advantage of the Saturday Learning Seminar this weekend from 9-12 in the library, including free tutoring and a free breakfast.
As always, thank you for your continued support and please reach out if you have questions.
#OneOsbourn!
Sincerely,
Mike Pflugrath
Principal
Osbourn High School
Our glow of the week is sophomore student-athlete Irieanna Smoot and her girls’ basketball teammates. Ms. Smoot has led our girls’ basketball team to an impressive start of the season capturing multiple victories. We are proud of our students’ achievements in and out of the classroom. Congratulations to our girls’ and boys’ basketball teams for earning their first victories of the season over Hylton and Manassas Park. We look forward to following you this season. Keep up the good work. Thank you for carrying the banner for Osbourn High School. Please come out and support our students’ extracurricular activities. We love the school and community spirit and thank you for supporting our kids. Their efforts bring great pride to Osbourn and the Manassas City community.
