First Annual OMS Senior Walk

On Thursday, May 24th, OMS celebrated former Olive Owls by welcoming them back for a senior walk.  Forty-five former owls returned to OMS to walk the halls amid cheers and high-fives from our students and staff.  It was wonderful to see familiar faces and for the seniors to see all that has changed since they were little. Our current students enjoyed seeing what their futures could look like!
