looking for a job down the road. We are extremely proud of our students and how
well they’ve done.” Students enrolled in the Advanced Applications courses
through the Business Department are given the opportunity to take the Microsoft
Certification tests at a discounted rate because OTHS Business Instructors are
approved proctors and the high school is an approved testing center.
