Robotics Earns First Place!

The Orange High School Robotics Team "The Flying Circuits" earned First Place in the Curiosity Open Robotics Competition at the Great Lakes Science Center last weekend. After qualification rounds, the team was ranked #1 overall, became the alliance captain, and was undefeated during the playoffs.

Bus Drivers Focus on Safety

As part of the recent National Bus Safety Week, Orange Schools bus drivers worked with their students in running bus safety drills. Earlier in the month, the Orange Schools bus drivers competed at the Regional Bus Safety Road-E-O where Team Orange placed first and three drivers advanced to the State Road-E-O competition!

Student Musicians Selected for Regional Orchestra

Congratulations to two of our talented student musicians who are among a select group of students from Ohio chosen to participate in the Northeast Ohio Regional Orchestra (NERO). Senior Jamie Berland and junior Sandy Cohn will represent Orange High School in performance this Sunday, November 3rd at 12 p.m. at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music at Kulas Hall. Both were selected for NERO after a rigorous audition process.

Jamie Berland

Berland is an outstanding senior violinist who won the prestigious position of Concert Master for the Contemporary Youth Orchestra (CYO), OHS Orchestra, and NERO. She plays first violin and has been a member of the CYO since eighth grade. She will be a featured soloist in the CYO’s November 16th performance of the iconic 1914 symphony “The Planets” at Tri-C East.

Sandy Cohn

Cohn was named one of the first Drum Majors in the history of the OHS Marching Lion Band. He plays trumpet in NERO and is the principal trumpet in the OHS Wind Ensemble. He was also selected by audition to attend the renowned 2019 Interlochen Fine Arts Camp. Good luck to both students in this weekend’s performances!
