We\u2019ve all grown to love Owensboro High School, whether you\u2019re a young new freshman, our beloved seniors, the teachers who shape us or somewhere in between\u2026 we all have something we love about our school. Although many people are sulking and slumping around because of our early morning rising, we all have at least an idea of what we love here. For some it\u2019s the friends we\u2019ve come to know, for others it could simply be the opportunities offered at OHS. Despite our many differences we all have one thing in common, we all love our school!<\/p>\n

Seniors: we\u2019ve all seen them grow from their freshmen selves to their now about to be successful contributing citizens in our society. Before we say goodbye, it\u2019s time to hear about their time at our school. Eric Epperson is a senior that everyone has come to know. Eric has lived in Owensboro his entire life. Eric says that he used to be afraid of people and their opinions and now he\u2019s grown to be more accepting of everyone and their differences. Eric describes OHS as \u201ca loving place, we all love each other, it\u2019s just good all around.\u201d Emma Kinsley our student body president, has also made some changes from her freshmen year \u201cI used to be very worried about others opinion of me and now I don\u2019t care,\u201d While we may grow with age we all still have memorable stories that we\u2019ll tell our kids someday. Emma\u2019s memorable story just happens to be prom night. \u201cI was at prom dinner and my zipper to my dress popped open and my grandma had to sew it back up before I could go to the dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The newbie freshmen get barely any chance to be recognized so we\u2019re going to give them their shot. AnaKaye Roberts is a freshman ready for this big change from middle to high school. \u201cIt\u2019s a big change because we\u2019re in a different school with kids of all ages,\u201d she said although she\u2019s only been here for a short time Anna likes OHS because \u201cwe treat each other like family.\u201d Kindrick Williams also thinks school is enjoyable, saying, \u201cI like P.E. because I get to be active.\u201d While he likes being active that\u2019s not the only thing he is hoping to gain from his time at OHS \u201cI want to get smarter to go to college,\u201d he says<\/p>\n

The students are fun and all, but now it\u2019s time to hear from the teachers. First up we have Mr. Maurice Wayne Sandefur one of our many new teachers. Sandefur says \u201cI\u2019ve just heard such great things about you guys and my heart just told me it was right.\u201d He says the standout moment so far was \u201cthe pep rally on the first day, there were so many people and they just kept coming.\u201d And while we are going to grow to know Mr. Sandefur we all do know and love Ms. Carolyn Greer. Ms. Greer has been a teacher for 27 years and this will be her 21st<\/sup> year at OHS. Now I know you\u2019re all wondering what brought her here well, \u201cI moved back here with my husband at the time to raise my kids, I had two girls, and there was a theatre opening at OHS.\u201d \u201cI love the community here.\u201d She adds. So, get out there, meet people and make your mark.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019ve all grown to love Owensboro High School, whether you\u2019re a young new freshman, our…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":399,"featured_media":9448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[615],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ohs-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/399"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9436"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9437,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9436\/revisions\/9437"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitaldevil.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
