Dear O'Gorman Junior High Families,

Happy Summer from O'Gorman Junior High School! It is hard to believe that we start school in just over a month. We anxiously await the opportunity to educate your child at OGJH.

Here are a few items that may be of benefit to you as we continue into the summer months:

  • School supply lists should be available soon at all area stores. It is also available here.

  • During the first week of August, you will receive our "Back-to-School Packet". This packet will include numerous items including the OGJH Back-to-School Newsletter and your child's class schedule/locker assignment.

  • Our school calendar, in addition to all of our athletic schedules, is now on Bound. You can find a link to it here.

School Uniform Information

As a reminder, school uniforms may be purchased from any vendor, but all uniforms must follow the requirements of the policy.

Each student is required to purchase (unless purchased in previous years) and wear the designated uniform PE shorts. These shorts also double as our competition shorts for many of our athletic programs.

Online ordering of the uniform PE shorts is now available by clicking here. Sample shorts to try on are also available in the school office starting on Monday, July 28 (open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am-3:00 pm). The online store will be open until August 8. This will be the only time to order this school year.

There will also be an option at this store to order a white or grey O'Gorman t-shirt.* While it is not required to have this exact t-shirt for PE, it is an option for our families.

*PE shirts worn may be any white or light grey O'Gorman t-shirt.
