On Friday, November 17th, our 8th grade OLHMS students had an amazing opportunity to gain more insight about their future high school. Students who are in district to attend Richards High School visited HLR and students who are in district to attend Oak Lawn Community High School visited OLCHS.
When students entered their potential future high school, they were welcomed into the building and introduced to several students and faculty members. After OLHMS students were given an introduction, they were asked to think about what they would like to pursue in regards to their future endeavors, and connect those interests to elective courses HLR and OLCHS offers. When De’Shawn was asked what elective class he was most excited about when he attends Richards next year, he stated that “I love cars and bikes, so I’m really excited to take the technology education classes because I can be in the car shop and work with cars.” Students were given a tour around the school and given a sneak peak inside elective classes that HLR and OLCHS has to offer.
Thank you to Richards High School and Oak Lawn Community High School for taking the time to speak with our students and for passing out Bulldog and Spartan swag!
