Welcome Message
Dear Students and Families,
I teach 9th Grade English and American Literature and am so proud to be a staff member at Oak Harbor High School. I am a graduate of Washington State University - Go Cougs! I also coach volleyball here at the high school and enjoy the opportunity to impact students' lives both academically and athletically - OHHS is very proud of its emphasis on the well-rounded individual - Go Wildcats!
If you have a question or concerns regarding your student, I am readily available by email and telephone. The best contact hours would be from 7:10 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. during the workweek, however emails over the weekend are promptly responded to as well.
Regards,
Mr. Whitmore
