Fox 35 has once again selected OHS to be televised for the Game of the Week. The date is Friday 10/17/25 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. Select student groups will be participating, and we will be televised out of the RWL.

Effective date: The law, enacted through House Bill 1105, is effective for students graduating during the 2025–2026 school year and after.

To qualify for a Florida Bright Futures Florida Academic Scholars (FAS) award via the AP Capstone pathway, you must earn the AP Capstone Diploma with a score of 3 or higher on AP Seminar, AP Research, and four additional AP Exams, and complete 100 hours of community service or paid work. This new pathway, effective for the 2025-2026 high school year and beyond, allows students to qualify for FAS without meeting the standard test score requirements. 

To earn the AP Capstone Diploma, you must: 

To receive the FAS award using the AP Capstone pathway, you must also: 

Exemption from Test Scores: This pathway provides an alternative to the traditional Bright Futures SAT/ACT test score and GPA requirements for the FAS award. 

Not a High School Diploma: Earning the AP Capstone designation does not substitute for the requirements of a standard high school diploma. 

At this time, AP Seminar and AP Research are not offered through SCVS or FLVS.

Specific questions about your ability to qualify, email your counselor or speak to Ms. Boucher or Mr. Furiosi.

We will be on an activity pep rally bell schedule on 10/3 and 10/24. Need to still give your student permission to attend? The permission form is open now until Wednesday, October 1st at midnight.

A graduation date will be determined around Winter Break. The reason is the contract with the school board and UCF has to be agreed upon and voted on by the school board. Once that date is known, we will immediately share it with our Oviedo senior families and community.

Picture Make-Up Day for underclassmen is Thursday, September 25th from 7:00 - 10:00 a.m. in the Media Center Lobby.

The one item that all seniors really would love to have is a yearbook. Many times we don't have enough extras at the end of the year and many seniors get left out of this amazing memory. Please make sure you order a yearbook at its least expensive price of $75. Yearbooks are on sale for $75 on www.yearbookforever.com. For parents of seniors, senior ad/shoutout pages are available on the site as well! Senior ads are due by October 31st!

Gabriella (Gigi) Decesare - Ms. Darling said, "Gigi was a leader in the Exploration debate in AP Euro! She made great points, referenced historical evidence, and refuted points of other teams eloquently."

Reese Pettersen - Ms. O'Connor said, "Reese is always willing to help out in the classroom. She is kind-hearted, and wants to give back to those in her community."

Yara Claudio - Ms. Rogers said, "Yara has gone way above and beyond with creating beautiful handmade decorations for the Little Lions Preschool. She even made paper mache and taught others as well."

Charlie MacDonald - Ms. Hueston and Ms. DiCarolis said, "Charlie is one of the kindest students we have ever had. He is a friend to all, and enemy to none. He has a way of making everyone around him feel happy, included, and want to be a better person. He is also a student that ANY teacher would be happy to have in class. He always participates, and tries to helps his classmates whenever they are working together. His work ethic and smile are contagious, and we feel so privileged to have Charlie in class.

Jai'Lani Martinez - Mr. Richmond said, "Jai'Lani has been incredibly helpful as a dividend in our SAT/English class this year. She helps the students with their practice tests and has made a real difference! Many students have improved their scores thanks to her support."

Daniel Cooper (not pictured) - Ms. Dilmore said, "Daniel embraced the idea of belonging by trying to befriend and assist a new student with no English fluency, even while being a new Lion himself. He worked to include his peer, utilized tech to help with translations, and even expressed interest in learning Spanish out of this experience. I am so impressed with his compassion and perseverance!"

Parents, community members, and friends of Seminole County Public Schools, make plans now to be a part of Teach-In on Tuesday, November 18th. What does it mean to “Teach for a Day”? SCPS invites you to teach our students through career exploration and opening doors to new experiences! Plan to share a short lesson about your job, travel and cultural experiences, or a hobby. Thank you for partnering with SCPS!
