There was a false fire alarm at OMHS today, Friday, September 25th . The students were evacuated while we waited for the fire department to clear the building.

It was a great course, and the weather was even better, for the Olympia Spartans boys and girls cross country teams as they traveled to Chester-Beason Park for a weeknight meet hosted by Mt. Pulaski. Although it was a small meet—with the Oly girls being the only full team and only two boys teams competing—that didn’t stop Kali (24:48) and Jasper (20:38) from running personal bests. It was a fantastic meet with some excellent performances. The XC team is off this weekend to help out with the giant Middle School Invite that Oly is hosting. Come out Saturday morning to cheer on the OMS Cross Country team!
The Olympia Marching Band competed at the Pontiac Showdown this past Saturday. The band placed 2nd in their class and got awarded the Best Percussion Caption. Let's congratulate our Marching Spartans!

So proud of our Olympia Varsity Volleyball team for taking 2nd Place at the Fieldcrest Knight Invitational!
It was a day full of high-energy, high-level volleyball, and every single player contributed to our success. The communication, encouragement, and standout plays across the entire roster made this tournament an absolute joy to watch. They played hard, fought for every point, and represented Olympia with pure grit and sportsmanship.
Congratulations to the team on a fantastic tournament run! We can’t wait to watch them build on this performance when they’re back in action on the road at Auburn this Tuesday. Keep it up, ladies!
The Olympia High School boys and girls cross country teams have had a busy and productive week!
We started the week by joining the Lions Run Club for their 2-mile time trial in Hopedale. On Tuesday, we traveled to Athens for a small meet that was delayed 45 minutes due to weather. Once we finally got to compete, everyone had a great race—Ty finished 1st overall, and Graham ran a season best!
Today, we traveled to Dunlap for a 20-team invite. The Dunlap course is a true cross country course with wooded trails, open fields, and steep hills. Despite the tough terrain, Noah ran a PR, and Mira placed 9th overall on the girls' side. In fact, almost everyone on the team ran a course PR today!
