In his first year as OVS Upper Headmaster, Craig Floyd has had a lot to deal with, including losing a portion of his beloved school to the Thomas Fire, a school that has played an important role in his life since high school.

Recently, there has been an outbreak of alternative nicotine use in teenage culture and at OVS due to the popularity of vapes and Juuls. In a time when nicotine is so readily available and heavily marketed towards teens, the school now needs to alter how they handle nicotine-based offenses.

For her Conceptual Chemistry final, sophomore Megan Manion chose to have a "Meatless Monday" at school, with the project demonstrating the benefits vegetarianism provides for the planet and one's health and wellbeing.

As the year wraps up, OVS seniors are preparing for their college departures; for some, making the decision on where to attend next year was a no-brainer, and for others, it was near-impossible.

After learning his horse was to be euthanized during Spring Break, junior Lico Chan traveled hours back to OVS to say goodbye.

A senior’s goodbye.
