Our Marching Huskies say....COME SEE US at a COMPETITION OPRF!

After school yesterday, I was presented with some Huskie Marching Band Swag by OPRF Drum Majors Maya Taylor, Abby Sacks, Gabe Krauter, and Lydia Woolley.  Besides providing me with the cool fleece I'm wearing in the picture, they also invited me to a few of their upcoming band competitions.  They mentioned that we as a school often

 see them perform at football home games, but they feel that their competitions are when they are at their sharpest and most dignified.  I then thought to myself-  hey...how cool would it be for us to cheer on the very group that gets us all hyped and ready to go for all things OPRF...our Marching Huskies!  here are some of their upcoming events:

Geneseo Maple Leaf Classic, Geneseo High School: September 17th  

NOHS Marching Band Classic, Benedictine University: September 24th, 4:30 PM

ISU Marching Band Competition, Illinois State University: October 22nd, 4:45 PM

It looks like the competition at Benedictine University next Saturday, September 24th might be the best time to catch them in competition.  I'm going to check in with the Huskie Spirit Council and see if we can get the Dawg Pound out there to root on our Marching Huskies!  It would be a great way for us to show our appreciation for our Band!  

State Championship Assembly

Today we celebrated the accomplishments of our very own 2016 IHSA 4A State Champion Softball Team!  Our Lady Huskies took Peoria by storm last June and won a very competitive, gut-wrenching title game.  I look forward to the REPEAT!  Here is a pic of me and our champions!

Staff Development Day

Hey OPRF....while you are off from school at play, we are having Staff Development Day!
Today our faculty and staff are hard at work providing professional development to one another on technology and a host of other division specific supports to help us better meet your needs!

OPEN HOUSE 2016

A huge Huskie Salute to our parents that came out for Open House last night!!!

The Book of Elijah Sims

I was able to attend the funeral services for Elijah this afternoon. So that you are aware, I stepped up to the podium and expressed condolences to his family on behalf of our OPRFHS family. I also spoke directly to his brother Isaiah, who is a student of ours, and let him know that we all are here to support him through this difficult time.

Here is the photo from his obituary that was called "The Book of Elijah". Although a very sad occasion, it was a wonderful funeral service.

Gun Violence Awareness

Good Afternoon OPRF-

Today the Building Leadership Team met with students to plan for a Gun Violence Awareness assembly for students and staff. The focus will be about providing educational awareness to the issue, discuss its impact at OPRF, and what we can do to help...

more to to come on this issue soon-
