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.

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.
