Open Quote OHMS has multiple language programs, an Amazing Science program that is integrated into all aspects of learning. The writing program incorporates topics related to science and STEM. The school teaches Racial Equity and Social justice as well as current issues and topics. The History program tells both sides of the story , incorporates US and Global historical issues. OHMS has a Junior Honor Society , sports, Art programs , music and more. My child feels safe and connected at school. We are happy with the school and administration. When issues can't be resolved at the school level I have had success sending my concerns to the PGCPS Board of Education. Close Quote
