This coming weekend, the ORR Bulldog Pride Alumni Association (BPAA), for the fourth consecutive year, invites all ORR alumni and friends to Alumni Weekend on Friday, October 9, and Saturday, October 10.
The program of events is open to all ORRJHS and ORRHS alumni, and friends of ORR, and is an inclusive experience that brings together the common alumni experience spanning over seven decades from the Class of ’62 to the Class of ’26. There are no entrance fees or tickets required for any BPAA-sponsored event.

Local businesses and alumni have contributed to help us in our fundraising efforts to demonstrate our school pride for ORR. For the Class of 2026, the BPAA sponsored three awards, totaling $5,000, in addition to the launch of the Grants Program, through which four grants were given totaling over $1,800. For 2026 to 2027, the BPAA is committed to a fundraising goal of $10,000 to support the BPAA’s Mission and Vision 2036, a program dedicated to expanding giving and providing financial awards to underserved student populations. From small and large donations, earned primarily through the fundraising efforts during Alumni Weekend, BPAA can earmark funds to reach the wider ORR community by supporting projects and experiences for students.

Homecoming and Alumni Weekend 2026 are opportunities for past students and graduates of ORRJHS and ORRHS 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.
