The Red Devils open the season at home Friday night against St. X. Kickoff is set for 6:30pm. Gates will open at 5:30pm.
Tickets are $7 cash at the gate. OHS students and OIA students with OHS as their home school get in FREE with their OPS-issued student ID.
Before you head to the game, be sure to check out the OHS Athletics Safety Practices & Procedures for all home athletic events.
Help us keep Rash Stadium a safe and positive environment! Wear your black on Friday night and let's bring the energy and give our Red Devils the home-field advantage!
Go Devils!
Every student in grades 9–11 should have their picture taken—even if you are not purchasing a photo package! These photos are important and will be used to update student photos in Infinite Campus (IC), create future student IDs, appear in the OHS yearbook, support school records, recognitions, and much, much more!
Families who would like to order pictures can visit mylifetouch.com and enter Picture Day ID: EVTNZKRPN, or simply scan the QR code provided to view ordering options.
SENIORS: Senior pictures will NOT be taken on September 11. Information regarding senior picture opportunities will be communicated separately.
Red Devils in grades 9–11, bring your smile and get picture REDy on September 11!
At OHS, we believe EVERY day should be High Attendance Day! Being at school matters. Every day a Red Devil is at 1800 is another opportunity to learn, connect, participate, and experience everything OHS has to offer.
But on Wednesday, September 9, we’re making attendance a little more fun as we celebrate Kentucky High Attendance Day!
Red Devils can roll out of bed and come straight to 1800 in their favorite school-appropriate pajamas! We’ll also have some special breakfast items waiting to help everyone start the day right.
Kentucky schools will be competing for the highest percentage of students in attendance and you know Red Devils love a little competition! Our goal? PACK 1800 and shoot for 100%!
So set the alarm, grab those PJs, bring your Red Devil energy, and SHOW UP!
And remember, High Attendance Day may be September 9, but at OHS, EVERY DAY is High Attendance Day.
At Owensboro High School, supporting the social-emotional well-being and mental health of our students is a top priority. We want every Red Devil to know that they matter, they belong, and there are trusted adults ready to help.
During the week of September 8, OHS school counselors, our Student Assistance Coordinator, and Youth Service Center staff will provide all students with important information and resources focused on suicide prevention and seeking help when it is needed. Following the presentations, students will also have the opportunity to meet individually with a counselor if they would like additional support.
OHS students will learn that depression is treatable, how to recognize warning signs and risk factors, and how to use the ACT strategy: Acknowledge, Care, Tell a trusted adult. Students will also identify trusted adults and resources available to them at OHS.
We encourage families to continue these conversations at home. Please review the information provided by our OPS District Counseling Director and the SOS for Parents Infographic to learn more about the program and how families can ACT when someone may need help.
Need help now? The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call or text 988 to connect with trained crisis support.
Together, we can make sure every Red Devil knows they are supported, valued, and never alone.
The September Edition of Principal Notes is here!
September is packed with opportunities to connect, get involved, and experience OHS. Take a few minutes to check out this month’s important dates, events, celebrations, and everything you need to stay informed!
Go Devils!

Tour de Owensboro: Experience the Possibilities
The future starts here! On Wednesday, August 26, the OHS Class of 2027 will take part in Tour de Owensboro: Experience the Possibilities, a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore the outstanding college options available right here in our community.
Throughout the day, seniors will visit:
Brescia University
Kentucky Wesleyan College

At each campus, students will tour the facilities, meet admissions representatives and current college students, explore academic programs and scholarships, and experience what college life is like. Most importantly, they'll discover the many pathways available after graduation and begin envisioning their future.
This experience is about more than visiting college campuses. It's about expanding possibilities, asking questions, building confidence, and helping every Red Devil take the next step toward life after OHS. Whether students already have a college plan or are still exploring their options, Tour de Owensboro provides valuable insight into the opportunities available close to home.
All members of the OHS Class of 2027 will participate in this exciting experience designed to inspire future goals and open new doors.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Brescia University, Kentucky Wesleyan College, and WKU in Owensboro for partnering with Owensboro High School to make this experience possible for our seniors.
Questions? Contact Mr. Schienbein, OHS College & Career Planner, in the Media Center for additional information.
