At Halftime. Olympia 28. Pittsfield 6

Sociology students have been studying various types of collective behaviors this week and their impact on society. Today students examined the changing fads and fashions of Olympia High School's history. Students studied the new legacy posters hanging in the hallways of OHS this year, that are celebrating Olympia's 50th Anniversary. They are using this observational data and examining copies of the Olympiad (Olympia's yearbook) for the past 50 years to learn more about the collective behaviors that influenced previous generations of Spartans.

At Olympia, we want to create a space where our teachers can thrive. One way we work towards doing this is through our teacher mentoring programs. Our teacher mentors are trained to provide quality support to the new teachers in our district while also encouraging them to develop their unique teacher presence. We are grateful for our amazing group of teacher mentors here at Oly!
