As juniors and seniors begin taking college visits, please check out the document linked below from Counselor Polk. It provides great questions to ask on visits to make sure students find the right fit for them. They should visit the colleges that interest them and ask LOTS of questions while you’re there. This document gives students, and parents, a great plan to seek the information needed to find the right college choice.

Congratulations to Maria Krohn!
On Friday, Maria's hard work paid off when she set the girl's school record for Hang Clean when she cleaned 170 pounds. Maria broke the record which was actually set by her sister Laura two years ago. Maria is also only a sophomore, so expect this record to only get bigger and for others to fall over the next couple of years!
Hard work is something Maria not only doesn't shy away from, but seems to enjoy. She routinely is found in the weight room after everyone else has left trying to reach her goal that day for different lifts. She is found in the gym after practice working on things by herself when the school is otherwise cleared out. And this fall she is doing all of that while dual sporting, starting on the volleyball team and running the fastest girl's time for the team at each cross country meet thus far!
The most successful athletes, no matter the sport, are those that spend time on their own perfecting their craft. Maria epitomizes that, setting a standard of excellence for Onaga athletes and being a role model for future Buffaloes.
Congratulations Maria, keep up the hard work!

There were multiple High Schools with art submissions in the contest, and one Onaga High Schooler did very well.

The high school softball team is getting a facelift for its field this weekend and it's one that will benefit the community as well. With serious upgrades needed to their field, plans are in place at this time to replace the fencing from dugout to dugout, and in the process get new dugouts as well. This is a joint effort between the high school, city, and fair board and has already seen extensive planning to get the job done.
Part of that job includes tearing down the existing fence in that area of the field. In getting this project complete, using volunteer work to take down the old fence was vital to the plan. Mayor Rod Tucker has been generous in lending his truck to load and haul off materials, and Joe Hochstedler has been benevolent in lending his lift to work on the taller poles. Now, the three entities involved are in need of volunteers to help get the job done.
At 9:00am on Saturday morning the team will be at the north baseball/softball field to begin tearing down the old fence. Anyone who is willing and able to lend a hand would be greatly appreciated. Again, this is a volunteer job that will benefit the high school softball team, the city's rec teams, and the Pottawatomie County Fair all at once. If you are available and willing to bring yourself, a pair of gloves, and any tools that might be helpful in the are of destruction, come lend a helping hand on Saturday morning! Thanks in advance for considering helping USD 322, the City of Onaga, and the Pottawatomie County Fair Board in getting this project done!
For the first time in over a decade, the O-Club is back at Onaga, resurrecting a school club that started under Coach Rosenfield well over a half-century ago and continued to thrive under Coach Lee for several more decades.
Tonight the organization appeared for the first time in 15 years as they held their first fundraiser at the high school volleyball team's quad. It was a HUGE success and it wouldn't have been possible without several parents donating food and time, as well as the 37 lettermen athletes at OHS who make up the reformed O-Club that put in the work to make the night a success.
Thank you to the parents that helped out tonight, and to the athletes who have made the commitment to bring this club back to Onaga!
Just a reminder for all junior high and high school students/parents, the morning weights session this week for those that don't have a P.E. class during the day will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. As always, the sessions are from 6:30am to 7:10am.

The high school girls locker room was in need of a paint job and with the impending home volleyball games just days away, a couple of Onaga community members stepped up and got it done, adding a little Buffalo orange and black flare to the room.
Most of the time a paint job isn't something we would feel needed to be pointed out, but with the effort that wrestling coach Brett LaMar and teacher/coach Kaitlin LaMar put in we felt it deserved recognition. They spent 32 (!!!) combined hours over the first weekend of September with paint brushes in their hands to get the job done.
Thank you Brett and Kaitlin. It's people like you and the efforts you put in behind the scenes that make our community and school such a great place to be a part of!
