🎓🌲 Future Loggers on the Move! 🌲🎓

This morning, our OMS 8th graders took an exciting step toward their future as they visited Onalaska High School! Students had the opportunity to tour the campus, meet teachers, and get a firsthand look at what life is like as an OHS student.

Starting high school is a major milestone filled with new opportunities, new challenges, and new experiences. Over the next four years, these students will have the chance to explore career pathways, participate in athletics and activities, build lifelong friendships, and discover their passions both inside and outside the classroom.

We are excited to welcome the Class of 2030 to OHS and can't wait to see all they will accomplish as they begin their high school journey. Once a Logger, always a Logger! 🌲❤️

We lined Carlisle Avenue one last time to congratulate the Senior Class of 2026.
