A few teachers might be happier in a religious school. Their views enter the classroom too often.

This school is amazing-the principal is awesome. She is very engaging with her students, and readily available to parents. Can't go wrong being a part of OHMS!

We recently moved to the area from out of state. I have a daughter that is in the Resource program and I cannot say enough about how great this school is. They have given her so much help and support and have turned her education around! The teacher's are always available, hard-working and love their students. This school has gone above-and-beyond in giving the best possible education to their students!
