Welcome to
High School at OLM!
The High School curriculum is centered on the acquisition and application of knowledge based on higher level Blooms Taxonomy, which includes improving enhanced critical thinking skills in every subject.
The high school is currently developing a full Advanced Placement program, which will be fully implemented starting in the 2015-16 school year.
The school year is divided into four quarters for one final grade, which is based on a 4.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) scale.

Yearbook
One of the best parts of going to school is the year-end excitement of a yearbook. Not only entertaining, yearbooks give a memorable account of an entire educational year that is enjoyed even more the older it becomes. It gives students a concrete sense of who they are and connects them to the past with a solid sense of how they have grown and matured over the years.
