Dear Fellow OLSH Alumni,
Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination for the 2017 Distinguished Alumni Awards! All alumni who were nominated will be notified in April. The selection committee will meet in May to review the nominees and the honorees will be announced in June.
Don't forget, springtime at OLSH brings with it the Ham Bingo and flower sale...two great excuses for visiting your alma mater! See below for more information on those events and alumni events coming up in June and July!
God Bless,

Dust Off Those Prom Pictures!
|
|
The dresses, the hair, the poses...it's time to dust off those prom pictures and put them to good use!
All alumni who post a picture from their prom on social media during the week of
April 17-21 with
#olshpride will be entered into a drawing for an OLSH alumni t-shirt.
Formal pics, candid shots, couples, groups...we want to see them all. Let's take a Grand March down memory lane before the students head off to their prom on April 23.
