Exciting news! The new softball scoreboard has been installed and the old scoreboard removed. Thank you to the Orion Athletic Boosters and the Brick Paver Fundraising Committee for their generosity in purchasing the new scoreboard. Also a huge thank you to our district staff (Tom Hamerlinck, Henry Carson, Mitchel White, and Cooper Herd) for all of the work they put into the scoreboard projects. The larger scoreboard and new centerfield location look great!
It's Toys for Tots time! OHS Student Council is working to make a difference once again! They will be collecting new unwrapped toys from now until 12/11!

As part of his Work-Based Learning Experience (formerly Co-Op), OHS senior Cooper Herd is employed in the Orion School District transportation department. He knew he'd help maintain the transportation fleet, but he probably never imagined he'd help prep and install 28ft steel beams for the new softball scoreboard. Also, a big thank you to the Rental Guys for donating the use of the forklift to install the beams! Not sure it would have happened without the lift.
