Old High Middle School

Don't miss Spirit Night on Tuesday, May 12th! Thanks for supporting the OHMS PTO!

Painting a picture of Mrs. Lyons is like trying to catch a rainbow—there’s just so much to admire! If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting her, you know exactly why. She’s a bold, caring, and genuine whirlwind of joy, spreading her contagious smile like confetti. She lifts everyone up, making us all feel like rock stars. To celebrate our fabulous principal, students and teachers scribbled down all the amazing things they adore about her, and we turned the hallway into a glowing tribute of positivity! #UKnighted #PrincipalsDay

We couldn't be more grateful to have the BEST school nurse here at Old High Middle School!

We absolutely love and appreciate our OHMS admin professionals, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Bassett, and Mrs. Caldwell! They are the best!

The Student Council is on a mission to sprinkle kindness and cheer throughout OHMS! How will you spread some joy today? #UKnighted

Smiles all around – we loved Kona Ice day! It makes working hard in class just a little bit more fun. 😁🍧

Congratulations to the 5th-grade Visual Art student Annabelle Hardin!

This year's exhibition expands to four works per grade, Kindergarten through 12th grade, with a total of 52 works in the selection.

"Now in its 65th year, the Young Arkansas Artists (YAA) exhibition continues its tradition of honoring the imagination and talent of students and educators across the state. This milestone recognizes generations of young artists whose work reveals the exploration and determination that begin in the classroom and extend far beyond it. The exhibition also highlights Arkansas art educators, who play a central role in this legacy. Their guidance shapes students’ skills, nurtures creativity, and inspires young artists to pursue their ideas with confidence. Together, the artworks selected each year demonstrate the breadth of artistic expression found throughout Arkansas and the innovative, thoughtful approaches students bring to every medium."

Send help! The students have realized they won't see the teachers for a week and they aren't taking it well.
This is your friendly reminder that Spring Break is March 20th - 27th. But don't worry students, we promise to come back!

Thank you OHMS PTO for keeping us happy and fed!

5th grade students took our arguments to the courtroom last week. Each lawyer team represented either the prosecution or defense of programs and people from our text, "Orphan Train Rider." They also served on the jury and had to analyze responses for clear points, evidence, and explanations. #MultiSensoryLearning #DepthOfKnowledge #CultureForLearning

🚍💛 Our Student Council loved celebrating Bus Appreciation Week! We are so thankful for the incredible bus drivers who safely get our students to and from school each day. Thank you for all you do for our school community! 🚌👏 #uknighted

Smashing a whipped cream pie into your teacher's face in front of your classmates. Easy. 🥧🤓
Great job Miles Martinez, Annabelle Wiser and Bexton Rogers!

Team Excalibur students were making paper during Knight Time after reading and analyzing a text about how to do it. We also learned about how people in Ancient Egypt used papyrus to make paper. #MultiSensoryLearning #DepthOfKnowledge #CultureForLearning

Cardboard, creativity, and a whole lot of fun! 📦✨ Our students brought their A-game to "Fort Knight," building some epic cardboard fortresses. A huge thank you to our amazing PTO for facilitating such a great night of teamwork and imagination! 🏰#UKnighted

Congratulations to our Odyssey of the Mind Teams!

Our Odyssey of the Mind teams recently took a Saturday trip to the Samaritan Shop to get last minute costume and accessory additions. Thank you, Samaritan Shop, for supporting our community and our OMers.
