To celebrate the alumni of ORR, the ORR Bulldog Pride Alumni Association (BPAA)–for the third consecutive year–will organize alumni events around the annual Homecoming game. The parallel events will be held on Friday, October 17 and Saturday, October 18.
The program of events is open to all ORRJHS and ORRHS alumni and friends of ORR… an inclusive experience that hopes to bring together the common alumni experience spanning over seven decades from the Class of ’64 to the Class of ’24.

Local businesses and alumni have contributed to help us in our fundraising efforts to demonstrate our school pride for ORR. For the Class of 2024, the ORR BPAA sponsored three awards, totaling $5,000. For 2025, the BPAA is committed to not only awarding a similar amount but also plans to launch a grant program for student groups, totaling over $7,000 in financial gifts from small and large donations, earned primarily through the fundraising efforts during Alumni Weekend. This will allow BPAA funds to reach the wider ORR community by supporting projects and experiences for students.
Homecoming and Alumni Weekend 2025 is an opportunity for past students and graduates of ORRJHS and ORRHS to gather 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 bulldog experience.
