Luckily, 3 Kids and A Cake (also known as 3KAC) opened an Owasso Location on 76th street on Oct. 26, 2022. With a wide selection of confectioneries and a welcoming and upbeat atmosphere, the woman-owned and family-operated business has quickly drawn attention from the locals.

A decently hidden treasure at OHS, the Speech and Debate team is proving itself to be one of Owasso’s most competitive electives.

You’ve just turned 16, and you race down to the DMV to take your driving test. You have been practicing careful driving since you were 15; this is your big moment. You’ve been waiting so long for a license- or have you? More teens nowadays are not as focused on getting their licenses as soon as possible, but why?

The term “high school band” commonly conjures up images of inexperienced teens jamming together. With high hopes, they possess enthusiasm and optimism but often lack the expertise to skillfully hone their ideas. “High school band” would not be an appropriate term to describe Greyland, whose members play with a certain confidence and precision that far exceeds their age.

November is officially recognized as Native American Heritage Month (NAHM), but what does it mean exactly? Declared in 1990, the month is meant to honor and celebrate the Indigenous people of America. In years passing, it’s become more and more recognized, and with that comes newfound attention on the native experience and issues regarding native people. So, what impact does the celebration have today?

On Saturday, Nov. 26, the city of Owasso held Lights on Owasso. This event included the lighting of the 34’ tree in Redbud Park on Main Street.

The Royalverse has taken over Owasso High School. Yet despite its popularity, some still haven’t discovered the intricacies of the Royalverse.

Mrs. Ciancio has been a longstanding fan favorite for science students. Perhaps her smallest class each year is Advanced Placement Biology, with one hour of the day (fifth hour), that contains only 16 students.

Being a senior athlete at Owasso means hard work and stepping into roles of leadership within the team. However, in return, lots of memories and relationships are made along the way.

The rise and fall of Owasso High’s favorite (fake) club has been an emotional time for students who were simply trying to build student involvement with their peers. The club’s genesis was a humorous flier that was posted mysteriously around the hallways at OHS, only to be discovered by admin four short days later, who tore down the posters destroying the club’s and the students’ spirits. The poster left everyone, teachers and students alike, in total confusion. Was this club real? Who created it? Why post it around the entire school?

The Rap duo Drake and 21 Savage have returned again to follow up their Billboard top 25 single with one of the most anticipated albums of the last month.

Driving through Owasso, it is nearly impossible to disregard the enormous amounts of road construction. Almost every major roadway is undergoing some amount of alteration to make it better.

Many of these changes include widening the roads to accommodate the enlarging population, patching road damage from weathering and simply updating the stop signs to traffic lights to prevent accidents.
