OHS wins AP’s Female Diversity Award for Computer Science
Olney High School is one of about 1,100 schools nationwide to win the College Board’s Computer Science Female Diversity Award for expanding young women’s access to computer science coursework, measured by how many Olney girls took the Advanced Placement exam in computer science during the 2022-23 school year.
Meet the Cubs
Cubs boosters held “Cookies and Cocoa with the Cubs” on Jan. 3 to introduce the Olney High School girls and boys basketball teams and cheerleaders to their fans. Athletic Director Jody Guy presided over a three-pointer contest at the gym, then called the teams and cheerleaders out on the floor. “We do a Meet the Cubs at the beginning of the year for football and volleyball, and we really don’t do anything for our winter and our spring sports,” he said. “We decided, hey, let’s do the same thing we do for our fall sports. It brings attention to our kids, hopefully, and gets them excited because they are fixing to start District and we are trying to get in that mode.” Girls Athletic Coordinator Rhyan Daugherty said momentum from the Lady Cubs’ win at the recent Electra Tournament set them up well for District contests against a roster of tough competitors.
