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: 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." (It should pop up after a few letters) Once you are in the app, if you click on "alerts" you will be prompted if you would like to enable notifications.
