Oak Ridge High School Daily Bulletin
STUDENT INFO
Students, this is very a very important announcement! A breach in security occurred last week when a student propped open the Wildcat Arena doors with a rock. This allowed two individuals who were not ORHS students to enter the building. Upon their entrance, they proceeded to roam around our facility and make their way to the locker room area where one of our facilities was ransacked and multiple individuals had their personal belongings stolen. PLEASE BE ADVISED, ANYONE propping a door with a rock, the rug, or any object which compromises the security of our building will receive an out of school suspension. In addition, students are not bringing their ID badge to school each day. This is also a hindrance to our security. Lunch detentions will be assigned to individuals who do not have their badge on their person. Random badge checks will begin on Tuesday! (2/28-3/10) – M. McDonald

154 years ago, Bishop Daniel Payne was chosen to be the President of Wilberforce University in Ohio. The election, held just months after the Emancipation Proclamation, made him the first black president of a university in America. Last March, John King Jr. was nominated and confirmed as only the second black United States Secretary of Education where he served nearly a year in office. Bishop Payne broke the color barrier so that others could follow in his footsteps. Who will inspire the next generation? Find out at the library as they honor Black History month – Celebrating History, Inspiring the Future. (2/27) – C. Milloway
