This year the Ottawa Hills Indian's, team 518, placed 30th in the USFirst Robotics competition. Christopher Lammer skilled driving produced great results but because of the lack of help by other teams we were not able to produce a very high ranking. Throughout most of the competition we were able to hold 22nd place. The O'Mega, as it was called, was a well-built robot and we produced many excellent plays that stopped other teams from gaining a high ranking in the competition.

Tech Prep Program Mission Statement

With the world changing so fast, it is imperative that our classrooms learn to change with it. Students need to be prepared to work effectively in a rapidly changing, world-class society. Tech Prep at Ottawa Hills High School is made up of a variety of different cultures of students who work toward a common goal:

To Prepare for the Future
