As students, we spend a large majority of our days inside this building, milling around with hundreds of other people – teachers and peers alike. But sometimes it feels like we don’t really know anything about them, even after seeing them constantly for years of our lives. So OCHS’s journalism elective class, taught by Mr. McDonald, took it upon themselves to learn more about those around us, asking about their thoughts and ideas for things like their futures, the school, or our world in general.
