My time at OCHS has been good. The class choices are varied and the teachers worked with me individually, if needed. The athletic department is the best and I have had 4 great seasons playing baseball.

I really enjoyed my time in Orange County High School. The teachers and staff supported me along my journey in the school. I felt as though I was safe and secure while my time there. The main thing I would like to see change in the school system.is the parent and student involvement. I feel at times the school tries to take control of things instead of letting the community help out.

Orange County High School has fun and involving sports, classes, teachers, and other extracurricular activities. I have had only good experiences with the teachers I had over the course of the four years spent there, and loved my time involved with sports.

10/8/2015
Orange is a good experience! It has an older, more experienced staff that (for the most part) does their absolute best to engage their students and make learning fun! The classes are large, which is mainly because it runs the whole county. As far as students go, they are mostly nice people. They may...
