THE LION’S DENOrange High School’s Newsletter THE LION’S DEN

Sep tember /Octobe r 2012 Newsletter Date

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year! Each year the staff and administration try to offer new opportunities for the students of Orange High School. Due to the long-term success of the OHS Robotics program, it is now being offered to all students as an elective. Also offered for the first time this school year is AP Psychology, which has an incredible enrollment of 81!

Last year I traveled to Denmark in order to establish a partnership with a high school in Herning, Denmark. In October, OHS will welcome 27 students and 2 teachers from Denmark for a weeklong experience. In April, over two dozen OHS students and 3 staff members will travel to Denmark for a reciprocal experience. This 3-year partnership is the first in what I hope becomes an extensive international program for the students at Orange High School. I was recently selected by the College Board to participate in a trip to China in order to learn more about the Chinese education system. Additionally I will have the opportunity to try and establish partner schools for a possible student/teacher exchange program for the coming years.

Along with new opportunities in curriculum and instruction, the new school year brings new staff members. This year Orange welcomes the following staff to the Orange family:

William Derrick – Mathematics Ciara Mastin – English

Jeremy Ondo – Foreign Language Frank Peters – Science

Jean Vargo – Administrative Assistant to the Principal

Again, welcome to the 2012 – 2013 school year. I am always happy to talk and/or meet with you at any time to discuss your child, the educational programs at Orange High School, or anything else you might need. I look forward to another great year and please stay in contact with your child’s teachers, as well as the administra-tion and guidance staff.

A NOTE about Pick-Up Notes

Summer 2017

Message from the Principal - Paul Lucas, Ed.D.

It’s always a bittersweet time of year; saying goodbye to a really great group of students is tough, but it’s so nice to see the summer finally arrive in Cleveland. I would like to congratulate the OHS Class of 2017; they will be missed! They have accomplished a great deal over their 4 years at OHS, and I’m sure I’ll be hearing many great things about them in the near future.

I wanted to provide a reminder that final exam grades for students currently in grades 9 – 11 will not be indicated since the final exam grade will be based on the score each child earned on their State End-of-Course exams. These scores are anticipated to be returned from the Ohio Department of Education at the end of June, therefore updated report cards with each final exam score will be issued in July; please watch for future communications from me.

Thank you to the parents, students, teachers and staff, Board of Education, and the Orange communities for the support in another successful school year. I hope everyone has a restful and relaxing summer vacation and I look forward to an exciting 2017/2018 school year…let the planning for next year begin!

Paul M. Lucas, Ed.D.

It has been another successful year and I am proud of all we have done to support the students and staff at OHS. Through its membership and fundraising efforts, OHS PTA was able to contribute over $25,000 towards the students, teaching staff and activities at Orange.A very special thank you goes out to all the parents who worked on and/or financially supported the 2017 After Prom. They worked all year to put together an amazing event to keep our students safe after the Prom. We need and will ask for your support again next school year.

OHS AFTER PROM 2017After Prom this year was held at Fun N Stuff in Macedonia, and everyone had a great time! They

enjoyed rollerskating, rock wall climbing, go-karts, bungee bouncing, putt-putt golf, batting cages, laser tag, arcade games and lots more! It ran from 11:30p-2am and the students wanted to stay

longer – which is always a good sign!

Thank you to our AMAZING committee of parent volunteers. They worked so hard all school year long to give our Juniors and Seniors an After Prom to remember. We couldn’t have done it

without you!
