With the 2022 holiday season approaching, it is time to pull out those recipe books for tasty dishes and desserts to share with friends and family. This year, I asked a few OHS teachers to share their favorite holiday treat recipes.

The Owasso Rams Football season is officially over after a heartbreaking loss against Bixby in the State Championship. They had a rough start to the season, but the team quickly turned it around and eventually made it to the State Championship, where they took home second place.

With this year coming to a close, people in Owasso, the US and all over the world are celebrating the holidays. You can see people decorating for Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa along with other cultural winter holidays. Here at our very own Owasso High School, the French Club has also decided to take part in the festivities.

On Saturday, Dec. 10, right after the Owasso Christmas parade, the high school hosted Rambo’s Holiday Festival. The community gathered to take festive pictures with Rambo, make holiday crafts and eat snacks. Held in the Ram Cafe, it was an especially pleasant morning for the Owasso community.

Owasso High School has improved over many years, and with the addition of a new girls' wrestling team, the school continues to grow. Establishing an all-girls team brought many new opportunities to the girls who joined.

Yes, OHS has an Art Club, and it’s been around for years! The club, which is mostly student-led, holds meetings on Tuesdays every other week in Mrs. Richardson's room on West Campus. It’s a small club with only a few recurring members, but new students are slowly starting to join.

On Aug. 28, 2020, esteemed actor Chadwick Boseman passed away due to complications with cancer. He fought this battle while filming his first appearance as Black Panther and the solo “Black Panther” movie. Months after his passing, fans wondered how the franchise would continue without Boseman reprising his role as T’ Challa. The answer to this question can be found in the new movie “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Most people associate this cold Christmas season with warm, comforting drinks such as tea and hot chocolate. But, as good as these may be, they all share one common problem in most homes: they’re way too basic. No one should have to buy Swiss Miss when hot chocolate is this easy.

Despite Owasso’s myriad of various fried chicken restaurants, Owasso finds itself with an underwhelming amount of bakeries. 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. This small group of students gets the chance, in class with the brilliant Ms. Dodge, to learn all about the intricacies of Speech and Debate and can display those talents at tournaments throughout the year.

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. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, other activities were canceled, such as pictures with Santa, caroling, food trucks, etc. Despite these limiting circumstances, Owasso residents came together as a community to watch the tree lighting.

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

As students and guests filled the PAC, there was a slideshow playing, used to highlight the veterans in our community, as well as students’ and faculty’s family members/friends who served, or are currently serving in the military

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. However, Mrs. Ciancio fills her classroom with nostalgic and relative activities that help university-level science make sense.

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. Just this last Thursday, the senior night football game was a success for the Rams, where the senior athletes had to step up and help lead their team.
