 Teacher Requests for 2016-17
O'Hara Catholic School teachers are dedicated, faith-filled individuals who are devoted to providing the best education possible for the students of O'Hara. For that reason, we ask that parents do not request teachers for the upcoming year. We also ask that you do not approach your students' current teacher and request a teacher for the next year; that puts our staff in an awkward position. We do understand that unique student situations may arise, however these are rare occasions that are handled with the administration. 

From the Archdiocese: May Family Faith Sharing Questions now available!

Pictures Needed
Work on the 15-16 yearbook is underway and we need your pictures! Please send pictures to  pictures@oharaschool.orgNote: if sending pictures from your smart device, please send them at full/actual size.
