As they prepare to graduate this year, Sadie and Caleb are already standing out—not just for where they’re going next, but for what sparked their passion: The Omro Fab Lab
Led by the guidance and innovation of Mr. Turner, the Fab Lab gave both students a place to explore, experiment, and discover new paths for their future. 🙌🏻
🔬 Sadie came in dreaming of becoming a Forensic Scientist. But after taking the Engineering course, she’s now headed toward a future in Civil Engineering with an Environmental focus. Her words say it all: “Omro Fab Lab is the ONLY reason I am going into engineering.”
🔧 Caleb has always loved building and creating. Thanks to the 3D printers and hands-on projects, he’s been able to bring his ideas to life—especially for his work as a mechanic. “People don’t know what they are looking for until they come into the Omro Fab Lab,” he says, reflecting on how the space opens minds to careers students may never have considered.
Two different paths. One powerful launchpad. That’s what makes the Omro Fab Lab so special.
Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more stories of how Mr. Turner’s Fab Lab is shaping students’ futures, one project at a time.

In recognition of Earth Day, Omro High School Biology students picked up litter on campus throughout our sport fields, woods, and arboretum. They focused on looking for items that can easily be overlooked, referencing the size of a dollar bill and looking for items smaller than it. The group found many plastic bottle caps, plastic zip ties, and candy and snack wrappers. Over the course of the afternoon, over 15 bags of plastic garbage were picked up. These proud Foxes are striving to keep our community clean!

Students in Mrs. Morse's Food for Life class participated in the Build a Burger Contest as part of their nutrient unit on Proteins. Students worked cooperatively to create a recipe, prepare it, construct a poster with a nutrition facts label, and present it to a group of judges.
The "Glazed and Confused" Burger earned top honors created by Ally, Bella, Gavin, and Brooklyn. This novel burger consisted of a seasoned patty topped with caramelized onions and bacon, served on a glazed donut drizzled with syrup and crushed sweet potato chips.
Omro High School selects a senior student each month to be the Student of the Month. Seniors are selected for their academic successes, leadership abilities, citizenship, and extracurricular activities. The seniors who are selected for this honor are also invited to attend an American Legion meeting for recognition by the sponsoring organization and may go on the ballot to be a graduation speaker.
The April Student of the Month is Ariana. Throughout high school, Ariana has been involved in Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, National Honor Society, Student Council, Spanish Club, and Sources of Strength. She can also be found volunteering her time through participation in Shopping Day With Kids, the Milis Track Meet, H.B. Patch Field Day, Highway Clean-Up, Breakfast with the Bunny/Santa, working concession stands, and the Spooktacular Haunted House. Outside of school, Ariana enjoys doing nails, being active and going outside, shopping, and hanging out with friends and family. After graduation, she plans to continue her education at UW-La-Crosse, studying Sport and Exercise Science. Ariana would eventually like to become a pediatric physical therapist.
