Today our students gathered to pray the Rosary together. October is the Month of the Holy Rosary, and we're grateful for the chance to pray as one school family. Mary, Queen of Victory, pray for us!
We are thrilled to introduce the incredible new members of our O'Gorman High School family for the 2026-2027 academic year!

Yesterday morning the O'Gorman Students For Life "chalked the walk" outside the front door of OG with pro-life messages..
Our students (and electrons) are excited in chemistry today! Mrs. Kokenge’s class performed the flame test lab as they calculated the change of energy that electrons experience when heat is applied to different elements.

🔭 October's Virtue of the Month: Foresight
Foresight is the virtue of thinking ahead and making wise choices today for a better tomorrow.
Whether in the classroom, on the field, or at home, we grow in foresight when we consider the consequences of our actions and seek God’s guidance in our decisions.
The Knights for a Cure club met this morning! They made fleece tie blankets to donate to cancer patients at the Avera Cancer Institute.
This year's theme at OGHS is Be Not Afraid. Listen to Fr. Thornton, our chaplain, as he explains the theme and the graphic that goes along with it. 💙⛵️ https://vimeo.com/1231038699
Our students have their science content knowledge in the bag! 👜
Mrs. Kokenge's chemistry students put their detective skills to work during an activity as they counted subatomic particles to calculate atomic mass and identify various isotopes.

Today was our Leaders Retreat - Called Chosen, Sent! Our freshman and sophomore leaders who serve in campus ministry at junior high and elementary schools gathered for a day of prayer, reflection, talks, team building, and fun. As missionary disciples, they are preparing their hearts to serve throughout the school year and to be examples of faith to their younger classmates, helping lead them closer to God.
Please keep these young leaders in your prayers as they continue to share their faith, serve others, and lead others closer to Christ
Day 2 of Suicide Prevention Week was a day full of teal and purple, the national colors of suicide awareness! With the help of Hope Squad, students created a "Compassion Chain" where students wrote one protective factor on each link. It's a powerful image to see the chain come together in a visual of self care strategies, gratitude moments, and safe people in our students' lives!
Teams from Therapy Dog International helped us finish day one of Suicide Prevention Week sponsored by our O’Gorman Hope Squad!
