This week was designated as Officials Appreciation Week by the OHSAA and the USHS Athletic Department would like to send a huge THANK YOU to ALL of our dedicated sports officials who have officiated one of our many sporting events. Every year these individuals take time away from their personal schedules and their families to provide our student-athletes the opportunity to play the games they love and contribute to the overall experience our student-athletes receive while participating in athletics. We greatly appreciate this sacrifice and we respect the services they provide. So, if you see an official or know someone who takes on this responsibility, please make sure you thank them.
