OHS LIBRARY COLLECTION
Hafa Adai!
🎉 Welcome Back, BULLDOGS! 🎉
School Year 2025–2026 Kicks Off with BIG News!
We’re starting this school year with something truly special—our MAIN LIBRARY is finally back open! 🐾📚 After more than two years of renovations and preparation, the heart of our campus is ready for you to explore, study, create, and connect once again.
This incredible milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of so many people. A huge THANK YOU goes out to:
Our amazing OHS Principal and Assistant Principals – for their leadership and vision.
The incredible OHS Faculty and Staff – for their continued support, patience, and teamwork.
And of course, YOU—our BULLDOG students—for your resilience and school spirit. You are the reason we do what we do.
We’re beyond excited to welcome you back into a space that’s meant just for you—a place to read, learn, collaborate, and just enjoy being part of the Bulldog community. While there are still a few finishing touches to come, the library doors are open for the 2025–2026 school year!
Get ready to make this your best year yet. Let’s make the most of it—together.
Go Bulldogs! 💙📘🐾
