Big News! With a win last night over Tri-City Christian in Vista, we have secured the #4 seed in the Division 4 CIF San Diego playoffs, which means we will have a BYE next week, and we will be at HOME on Friday, 11/15 at 7PM against the winner of the Patrick Henry v.

Please congratulate our Inspirational Student of the Month, Jennifer Le. The EUHSD Board will honor Jennifer tomorrow at the board meeting starting at 7 pm. Please join us to celebrate this amazing young woman.

We are all so proud of these young men, not only for the 41 to 16 victory in our football game, but how our players represented OGHS. We received countless comments from the locals regarding how well-behaved our students were. This trip was more than just a football game, it gave OG students an opportunity to enhance the reputation of our community and school.

We have exciting news about two of our scholars here at OG. Leilani Fuentes and Matt Nguyen are finalists for the Questbridge scholarship. This is a prestigious scholarship for outstanding students. All their paperwork is due on Friday, so please encourage them!

On Thursday, 7 November 2019, NJROTC will have its AMI on the Patriot football field from 7 to 9:30 am. This US Navy mandated inspection is used to ensure the program is effective and that standards for retention are being met. All facets of NJROTC, including, supply/inventory, administrative, academic, morale, and safety programs will be reviewed by our Area Manager. AMI remains the (yearly) cornerstone event for NJROTC, similar to a WASC visit. Attendance is MANDATORY for ALL Orange Glen NJROTC students as AMI (participation) is a major factor in their 1st semester grade.
