As the year comes to an end some of the class of 2017, will be leaving letters and bits about themselves about their lives as Red Devils. Many will be speaking on the groups and clubs they did others on their participation with OHS. All will be about the impact OHS has had on their lives. The first will be Miss Lily Hall.

Dear OHS,

My last few months at Owensboro High School have been a whirlwind. As a freshman, I remember walking through the back door on my first day too scared to even fist bump Mrs. Black. It took me a few days to get used to being in a high school setting, but I quickly realized that OHS was different from the TV shows and movies that portrayed high school as an intimidating and terrifying scene for freshmen.

As my time went on at OHS, I remember times where I thought high school would never end, but I also remember making some of the best memories of my life. For example, winning a state championship….. Looking at the other high schools in this area has made me realize that being a Red Devil means something more than being an Ace, Eagle, or Panther. I know that I’ll always have a family to come back to.

My senior year is coming to an end, it is suddenly registering in my mind that I won’t walk into Mrs. Johnson’s classroom every day and have the privilege of being able to talk to the friends I attended Sutton with. Everything is starting to change. While it seems alarming that I won’t be in Owensboro anymore, I know I will be fine in college. Don’t worry though, I’ll be back in town for some Friday night lights!
