Origin/meaning
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: Red and white are the school colors. The green vertical band divided by an “s” curve and a horizontal band suggest the fields of corn that are indicative to the home area of the school. The white borders of the insignia allude to the initials of the school “OHS”.
Shoulder Sleeve Insignia: The arrowhead suggests a shield in the colors of the school, and stands for the cadets’ dedication to their school and community heritage. The corn reflects a major community resource. The arrow symbolizes the cadets’ school spirit.
The Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and the Shoulder Loop Insignia was both approved on 28 August 2000.
