$$$ Money Saving Ideas for our EAGLE Families $$$

Student Athletic Pass (Purchase in the Book Store) ~ $30

The student athletic pass is available to all current OHS students for the cost of $30. This pass allows the student to attend all home athletic contests. If a student attends only 8 athletic events during the course of the year, he or she will have paid for the entire cost of the pass. Just by attending the five home Varsity Football games, the student will have paid for over 83% of the cost of the pass ~ what a great deal! Please note, however, that regional, state and school invitational contests are not included in the Student Athletic Pass.

Family “20 for $60” Pass (Purchase in the Book Store or Home Games) ~ $60

The OHS Athletic Office is pleased to offer your family another great value with the “20 for $60” family athletic pass. We encourage and support family participation in all of our athletic events and this pass will allow 20 people to attend home athletic contests for only $60 ~ this comes out to only $3.00 per person ~ an exceptional value.

Upon receipt of the $60, a pass will be issued to the purchaser. This pass will include 20 numbers located on the edge of the card. For every person who enters an athletic event, one of the numbers will be punched at the admission gate. This will allow an entire family, friends, etc… to attend an event whenever they choose. This pass can be used in conjunction with the Student Athletic Pass for the maximum savings possible.

These passes will be available in the bookstore and at home games throughout the year. Please note, however, that regional, state and school invitational contests are not included in the Student Athletic Pass.
