Keeping Our Promise

Spring is in full swing, and we’re cheering on our seniors as they move closer to the finish like of their high school journey.

As admissions decisions continue to roll in, we’re also here to help students review financial aid offers, compare college options, and make informed decisions about their next steps. For those considering other postsecondary paths, we’re ready to support them in exploring all opportunities ahead.

This is a season of big decisions and new beginnings. We’re proud to stand beside our students, families, and school communities as they navigate this exciting chapter. Let’s finish the year strong together!

2026 Promise Scholars Golf Tournament

Through our partnership with the Toyota North American Parts Center, we hosted our 2026 Promise Scholars Golf Tournament at Los Serranos Country Club where we greeted and registered golfers and provided them with the information about Promise Scholars. All proceeds, totaling $39,740, from the tournament will provide support and opportunities for our students.

Also, thank you to our OMSD Print Shop and OMSD Warehouse for all their support with the golf tournament.
