The ORR Bulldog Pride Alumni Association (BPAA) announces the 3rd ANNUAL ALUMNI WEEKEND. Organized around the annual Homecoming game, the parallel events will be held on Friday, October 17 and Saturday, October 18, 2025.

Homecoming and Alumni Weekend 2025 is an opportunity for past students and graduates of ORRJHS andORRHS to reconvene in proud support of our schools, and to establish an outlet for alumni and friends to volunteer and contribute resources in service to students, teachers, and staff. School pride is the nexus for our efforts and we know that graduates of ORR are immensely proud of their experience.

The program of events is open to all ORRJHS and ORRHS alumni and friends of ORR… an all-class experience that hopes to bring together the common alumni experience spanning over seven decades from the Class of ’62 to the Class of ’25.
