Oviedo High School
Principal’s Weekly Update
April 18, 2022
Prom came and went in a wonderful celebratory way! The security measures we included went
smoothy. Specifically, wanding was very efficient, working with the Orange County Sherriff’s
Office was effective, and the hotel security and employees were also helpful. We did use the
Group Me app to communicate with all the working administrators and chaperones. When there
was a concern regarding a person attending who was ill, students notified me allowing us to help
that person. I commend that senior for realizing that the young person needed help and stepping
up to get it. “See something. Say something. Do something.” is a great slogan that does work and
is our best tool for providing a safe and secure environment. I also would like to commend our
student body. Sapphire Falls remarked several times to the working adults that our Lions were
the best-behaved students they have ever had. On a personal level, the last two weeks have really
hit home with me. It has been a clear reminder to me that I have only been the principal of OHS
during a pandemic. The first OHS chorus concert I saw as principal was last week. When I
walked into our prom venue ballroom and say our students eating in a beautiful Van Gogh Starry
Night, it brought me to tears. I am very thankful that the students were able to enjoy prom, their
senior week, and the Honor Grad Ceremony. I’d like to give a big thank you to Ms. Finnegan
and all the workers!
Congratulations to Kianna Scott
and Eli Whitehouse for being
named the 2022 Prom Queen
and King!
Thank you to our parents that
organized and worked at our
Senior Breakfast! A special
thank you to Betsy Jewell for
being the main contact and
organizer. Title One Florida,
LLC donated the white paper
and pens and the coffee bar
that the seniors loved! Thank
you!
Last weekend in Dayton, Ohio, our Oviedo
Varsity Winterguard competed at Winter
Guard International World Championships.
They competed against 40+ teams in the
Scholastic Open Class division. There are 9
members on the team, and for 7 of them, this
was the first time they have performed at WGI
Championships. Our OHS team placed 5th in
Scholastic Open Class in the World. We are
beyond proud of their achievement this year!
Congratulations to the “Mighty 9”!
Congratulations to Samantha Cavallaro who
was awarded the Scholastic WGI Scholarship!

AP Exams
We are fast approaching AP Exam season. You or your child will receive an email in the next
few weeks regarding exam location, rooms, and other pertinent information to testing
day. Your child’s AP teacher will disseminate that information as well towards the end of the
month. In the meantime, as your child prepares for their upcoming exam(s), remind them that:
• No matter what their scores are, students who take an AP course and exam show colleges
they’ve persisted through challenging coursework.
• Building confidence starts with self-care and preparation. Here are six tips for students as
they prepare for their AP Exam.
• Utilizing the free resources in AP Classroom can help them check their understanding
and get quick feedback on their areas of strength and where they need more practice.
