D123 Hosts High School Fair

The 3rd annual OLHMS High School Fair was initiated by Mrs. Vanessa Follmar and the Counseling Department not only to excite our families and scholars about their future school, but to help them forge a new path to endless possibilities. Scholars and families had the opportunity to meet several high school representatives in person at OLHMS, where they were able to ask specific questions, learn more about each school, the programs they have to offer, and the phenomenal extra curricular options. Families left the high school fair having more knowledge and comfort regarding their child's future.

On behalf of the OLHMS administrators and staff, we would like to personally thank each high school for supporting our scholars and 2021/22 High School Fair!
