Seniors: The Oak Ridge Public Schools Education Foundation seeks your help in continuing the story of an Oak Ridge Schools education. You are soon to become alumni as members of the Class of 2021, the 79th graduating class of ORHS. The Foundation is seeking your help in continuing the story of Oak Ridge Public Schools’ memories, a story that began in the year of 1943-44. The first seventy-five years of those stories are chronicled in our book, “Celebrating 75 Years of Excellence in Education in the Oak Ridge Schools: 1943-2018.” Since then, the Foundation has collected stories from each successive graduating class, storing those narratives on our website at http://www.orpsef.org/archives/Class We sincerely hope you will submit your memories and therewith help to memorialize the ORHS Class of 2022.

We solicit your creative thoughts and writing styles while also offering the following prompts as suggestions for topics of interest–this list is not exclusive:

  • Considering all the years you have been in the Oak Ridge Schools, what special moments come to mind? (Teachers, classmates, courses, projects, activities,…)
  • Describe a challenge (or challenges) faced in your schooling and who or what helped you overcome it.
  • The end of your high school career was, to say the least, atypical. What support from ORHS/a teacher would you consider most helpful? What lessons did you learn from this experience?
  • What traditions and experiences in the Oak Ridge Schools do you hope will be continued for future students? Please submit your writing to mfeuer@ortn.edu by March 31, 2022. Please include in your response the post-secondary school/path you will attend. (3/9-3/11) – M. Feuer
