 | Dear Green Bear Families, It has been wonderful welcoming our Ottawa Hills Junior and Senior High students back into the building. Green Bear athletics is officially in full swing, and our student-athletes are already doing us proud on the fields and courts. Please check the athletic schedule on the school website and come out and support our teams. Behind every successful season and school year is an incredible network of parent support. As we roll into September, please consider sharing your time and talents with one of our active support organizations, including Athletic Boosters, Band Boosters (OHBBO), Parent Association (OHSPA), and the Music Theater Association (OHMTA). We also want to remind families about two key student resources available right here on campus. The Foundry is open Monday through Thursday from 7 to 8 am and 3 to 5 pm to provide dedicated academic support, quiet study space, and a collaborative environment before and after school. Additionally, the STEAM Cafe is open for business, and gift cards are now available for purchase to make daily visits easy for your students. Thank you for your ongoing partnership, energy, and dedication to our school community. Together, we are setting our students up for an outstanding year ahead. Go Green Bears! Warmly, Ben McMurray Principal, Ottawa Hills Junior/Senior High School |

- click "Find School Photos"
- Enter the code from the card that was sent home with your student
- Choose options and add to cart
- If you have multiple students, then click "View Another Gallery" and repeat process
