OTHS will also be continuing with surface work on the Baseball Diamond - we are leveling and adding material to the playing surface, as well as working on drainage projects around the facility. In the time being, please stay off the surface as this work is being completed- Thank you!

As Mr. Gordon's favorite NASCAR driver says, "There's always room for improvement." - Joey Logano - With that mindset the improvements continue at the OTHS Athletic fields as we move to increase safety and access to our facility. The improved retaining wall will allow for a safe playing surface, as well as incoming pavement and walkway will improve our ADA accessibility to our facility.... Once again thank you to the support of our community and contractors for allowing us to continually improve!

All of our librarian roles are filled for the upcoming school year, but we ARE still recruiting a few members to join our RSU #34 team! https://www.rsu34.org/page/employment-applications-and-vacancies
You can get started on a career in education in one of several entry-level roles - we support college tuition so you can keep learning and growing, opening up future opportunities!
We just added a grant-funded intervention teaching role as well, and seek an additional Special Education teacher to join our team and help reduce caseloads. Educational Technicians support our students in a variety of ways. We have a couple of coach openings for fall middle school athletics, and we always seek substitutes. Please visit and share our employment page!

Reminder for our Athletic families - an athlete at LMS and OTHS is required to have a physical on file. LMS requires 1 per 3 years at LMS and OTHS required 1 per 4 years at OTHS. This would be for all new athletes to our programs, if you are a returning athlete, you should be all set! This needs to be done before an athlete can start participation in our athletics. Sports start on Aug. 14th!
