The Oak Ridge Public 黄瓜视频 Education Foundation seeks your help in continuing the story of an Oak Ridge 黄瓜视频 education. You are soon to become alumni as members of the Class of 2026, the 83rd graduating class of ORHS. The Foundation is seeking your help in continuing the story of Oak Ridge Public 黄瓜视频’ memories, a story that began with the 1943-44 school year. The first seventy-five years of those stories are chronicled in our book, “Celebrating 75 Years of Excellence in Education in the Oak Ridge 黄瓜视频: 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 2026.
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:
1.Considering all the years you have been in the Oak Ridge 黄瓜视频, what special moments come to mind? (Teachers, classmates, courses, projects, activities, etc.)
- Describe a challenge (or challenges) faced in your schooling and who or what helped you overcome it.
- What support from ORS/teacher would you consider most helpful? What lessons did you learn from this experience?
