STUDENT INFO

The ORHS Wildcat Credit Union will open for the 2018-19 school year on Thursday, August 30. The credit union is open each Tuesday and Thursday at lunch in the Food Court. Both staff and students can take advantage of the Wildcat Credit Union (a branch of Y-12 Federal Credit Union). Students can earn free money! Get one stamp for every dollar you deposit, up to 5 per day. Once you get 30 stamps, you get $15 free deposited into your Wildcat CU account.
