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.

Summer 2016

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. Congratulations to the OHS Class of 2016, you 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.

Many improvements to the infrastructure at Orange High School have been made in recent sum-mers, so this summer should be a relatively quiet one. The only noticeable facility update is a much-needed facelift to the lecture hall. The lecture hall will be modernized with new flooring, tables, lighting covers and projection capabilities. I know this will be a great improvement to the learning environment at OHS.

Thank you to the parents, students, teachers and staff, Board of Education, and the Orange commu-nities 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 2016/2017 school year!

Paul M. Lucas, Ed.D.

For over 40 years the Orange High School PTA has published an annual directory of Orange families. This is a service to our families as well as a fundraiser for the OHS PTA.

Many of you know this directory as the “Black Book” and this year we are making some big changes.

To make sure you will be included in the school directory, we need you to complete the google form on the Orange High school PTA website orangeschools/OHSPTA.aspx

You only need to fill out this form once for all your children in all three buildings. (In the future we intend to collect this information via the Parent Portal.)

For your children’s grade level, use the grade they will be in during the 2016-2017 school year.

Please help us by completing the form as soon as possible. We will be collecting information throughout the year and the new directory will be printed in July 2016.

Please contact the OHS PTA with any question or concerns, [email protected].

Please Complete the Orange Lions Roar Directory Form

ATTENTION!!!!

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2016! May the path ahead be filled with much success and happiness!

As I prepare for the year ahead, I am very thankful to Susie Blake, for all of her time and dedication as President over the past two years. She has worked tirelessly to build community and stronger support for our students. Thank you Susie, for all you have done for PTA and the Orange Schools. We are all truly grateful for your leadership and guidance.

While we are all looking forward to a more relaxed schedule over the summer, PTA will be busy working to prepare for the new school year.

Watch for the new format of the Lions Roar Directory, available this fall. If you have not completed the google survey form to provide your families’ information please go to orangeschools/OHSPTA.aspx. This is extremely important if you want to be included in the Directory!We are also seeking advertisers for the Lions Roar Directory. This is an important fundraiser for PTA and is used by many in the community!

Watch for new spirit wear items in the fall! Support PTA and show your school spirit!

Become a member of OHS PTA and if you are able, please volunteer your time! Membership information is available in this issue and online at the OHS PTA website. New this year - use PayPal to pay your membership dues! Your donation of any amount enables PTA to give back to the school in a variety of ways. Last year over $38,000 was given back to our school and students.

Our first PTA meeting of the new school year will be September 7th in the media center at OHS! Paul Lucas, OHS Principal, and Jennifer Cohen, Board of Ed. member, will give a brief update at 9 am, with the general PTA meeting to follow.

Enjoy your summer and see all of you in August! Thank YouLaura Kochis
