OHMS PTSA President's Message


Welcome Back Eagles!

We're planning to have another awesome year at OHMS. Our new president is Maxine Conrad. She has two students at Oquirrh Hills Middle School. She has a 9th grader and her youngest is in the 7th grade. She brings a unique perspective having grown up in England, and being educated there. She looks forward to getting to know the staff, students and parents here at Oquirrh Hills. At present we are trying to fill the position of president-elect. If you have a nominee—please let us know. If you would like to volunteer with the PTSA please email us at ohmsptsa@gmail.com. 

We have many great activities planned, including Reflections, Blue Ribbon Week, Red Ribbon Week, White Ribbon Week, Book Fair, and the Memory Book. Please join the PTSA in the office today. It is only $6.00, and it helps us to sponsor these many activities. PTSA meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month at 11:45 AM in the OHMS Board Room near the main office. Please feel free to join us for any of our upcoming meetings. Check out our blog on the OHMS website and our Facebook page.
