Extra Curricular
There is a strong music program at OTHS. The school has both a concert and a jazz band and allows students to join for pleasure or to earn academic credits. The concert band often goes on a trip during March Break. Recent destinations have included New York City, London (Ontario), Boston, and England.
Despite its small size, the school has a strong athletics program. It has had successful ventures in both boys and girls curling, girls basketball and hockey, jr. girl's touch football, rowing, track, girls rugby, and boys rugby, bringing several teams to OFSAA in recent years. The famous hockey player and coach Larry Robinson attended OTHS in the 1960s.
The school's primary sports teams are known as the "Panthers".

Famous quotes containing the word extra:
“When a lady of wealth, is seen roaming about in search of cheaper articles, or trying to beat down a shopkeeper, or making a close bargain with those she employs, the impropriety is glaring to all minds. A person of wealth has no occasion to spend time in looking for extra cheap articles; her time could be more profitably employed in distributing to the wants of others. And the practice of beating down tradespeople, is vulgar and degrading, in any one.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
