Fight the Hunger

Orangefield High School would like to extend sincere thanks to Dr. Richardson, Principal of Orangefield Junior High, and the entire OJH staff for their collaboration with the OHS Career & Technical Education (CTE) Department in making the recent 8th grade campus visit a wonderful success. Their support in allowing students to visit the high school provided a valuable opportunity for students to experience firsthand the many pathways and possibilities that await them at the next level. It was truly a pleasure welcoming the 8th graders to campus. The students were exceptionally well behaved, respectful, and engaged throughout the visit. They represented Orangefield Junior High with pride, demonstrating a strong commitment to learning as they were introduced to the wide range of CTE programs offered at Orangefield High School, including Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems, Animal Science, Business Management, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services, Family and Community Services, Graphic Design and Interactive Media, Teaching and Training, and Plant Science. A special thank you is also extended to Mrs. Kimberly Spears, FCCLA Sponsor, along with the FCCLA student officers and members, for leading the 8th graders through the CTE classes and helping make the experience informative, engaging, and enjoyable. We are grateful for this partnership and for the important role Orangefield Junior High plays in preparing students for a successful transition to high school. We look forward to continuing to work together to support our students and showcase the opportunities available to them as they move forward.

Congratulations to Evan Pinkston on earning a chair in the 3A All State Concert Band on Alto Saxophone!

High school students selected to perform in All-State concerts have competed through auditions to qualify at the state level. All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can achieve. Students are selected through a multi-level adjudication process that begins with about 60,000 students from around the state vying for this honor to perform in one of 18 ensembles.

Texas Music Educators Association sponsors the Texas All-State competition. This competitive process begins throughout the state in auditions hosted by 33 TMEA Regions. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to compete against musicians from other areas in five ATSSB Area competitions. The highest-ranking musicians judged at the ATSSB Area competitions qualify to perform in a ATSSB All-State music group. Only the top 3% of musicians who initially audition become All-State musicians.

Directed by nationally recognized conductors, All-State students participate in four days of rehearsals during the TMEA Clinic/Convention. Their performances for thousands of attendees bring this extraordinary event to a close. Evan and the ATSSB Concert Band will perform in the Lila Cockrell Theatre at 8:30am on Saturday February 14th.
