Back to School Night-TONIGHT!

All parents are encouraged to attend Back to School Night at 6:00 PM. Parents should meet in the auditorium for a brief presentation with Mr. DeFruscio and Mrs. Vice, followed by a visit with each of their child's teachers. Parents will receive a copy of their child's roster in homeroom on Back to School Night. Be sure to stop by the school store, Mane Street to see all of our merchandise on sale! We look forward to seeing you tonight.
Our student section at the football games is always full of smiles and COHS pride! Last week, our students participated in a gold out and wore their gold shirts for the game. We look forward to the next home game on October 11th at 7:00. This is our Homecoming game!

Cardinal O'Hara Launches New App!
In an effort to increase communication, we are excited to share the launching of our new app. This app includes any important announcements and updates as well as the school calendar. 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:

  1. Go to the app store or play store depending on your device.
  2. Search for "School News by Edlio."
  3. Download the app.
  4. Once downloaded, open the app and it will prompt you to search for you school. Type in "Cardinal O'Hara High School." (It should pop up after a few letters)
  5. Once you are in the app, if you click on "alerts" you will be prompted if you would like to enable notifications.
