Kylie Secret - Mr. Brendlinger said, "Our Thespian President, Kylie Secret, has quickly grown into her new leadership role--this past week she cast the one act play she will be directing for our Thespian Festival, she represented OHS at the Thespian student leadership meeting at Lyman High School, and she accepted the lead role in our fall musical. She is a mentor to younger students and a kind, generous teammate in everything she does."

Johnnie Rollins - Matt Hueston said, "Johnnie is new, and from day 1 has been exactly the type of student a teacher could ask for. A truly good young man, who asks questions, gives answers, and helps others in the classroom."
Zackrey Barlow - Ms. Patrick said, "Zackrey is a wonderful student in our interior design class. He thinks of others, offers to help clean up, and is a friendly, responsible student."

Congratulations to Ms. Katherine Rawlings, our Teacher of the Week!
Oviedo High School is proud to recognize Ms. Rawlings as our Teacher of the Week. Recently, a parent reached out to share the tremendous impact Ms. Rawlings has had on her child's success in Algebra 2, highlighting her exceptional organization, efficiency, and dedication to student learning. Teaching a rigorous course such as Algebra 2 requires both content expertise and a commitment to ensuring students feel supported every step of the way. Ms. Rawlings consistently demonstrates both. Her structured approach to instruction creates an environment where students can build confidence, strengthen their skills, and make meaningful academic progress.
What makes Ms. Rawlings especially deserving of this recognition is her unwavering focus on student growth. The parent shared that their child, who has historically struggled with mathematics, is making significant strides this year and attributes much of that success to Ms. Rawlings' outstanding teaching and attentive support.
We are grateful for educators like Ms. Rawlings who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help every student succeed. Her professionalism, organization, and commitment to excellence exemplify the very best of Oviedo High School.
Congratulations, Ms. Rawlings, and thank you for making a difference in the lives of our students every day!
