Weekly Happenings Bonfire is Tonight! Visit our website for daily updates!

Homecoming week has been filled with themes and this one was a fan favorite! Pictured above are the 60s theme day winners! This past week, our volleyball team honored our principal, Mrs. Vice, who is officially CANCER FREE by raising money for breast cancer awareness. What a beautiful team effort for the best principal!

Congratulations, Joseph Taggart!

Joseph Taggart came in third with a two over par 73 in the District XII Championship for golf this week and qualified for the East Regional Tournament next week at Golden Oaks Country Club. He is the first O'Hara golfer to advance past Districts. Only the top three advanced from a field of 48 golfers in the District Tournament and Joseph is one of them! Congratulations Joseph!

The calendar includes all school events and academic schedules. The athletic calendar must still be accessed from the athletic website. It will also send you alerts if you enable notifications. The app is still in the early stages, but it is an extremely useful tool for students and parents. Here are the steps to download the app: Go to the app store or play store depending on your device. Search for "School News by Edlio." Download the app. Once downloaded, open the app and it will prompt you to search for you school. Type in "Cardinal O'Hara High School."
