Seniors

There's always a final chapter to every book.  

 As you approach this "final chapter" of high school, there are a few things to remember.....

1. Your final transcript will be sent once report cards are complete and the transcripts have been uploaded to PowerSchool.
2. If you receive a reminder from the college/school you will attend, it is only protocol for them. Sending your final transcript is part of the Guidance Office's year-end tasks, but cannot be done until grades are final.
3. This year your transcript will be sent electronically through Naviance. This means that your college/school will receive it quickly and accurately. You will receive an email confirming that your transcript was sent.

*** Please remember that you completed a Google Form (2023 Senior Survey Form) indicating what school you are attending in the fall. This was so we could send the transcript to the correct location.  FACTS accounts must be paid in full for final transcripts to be released. Please reach out to Ms. Denise Todd for questions about tuition balances.

Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Class of 2023!  

Rising Seniors (Current Juniors)

Now is the time to ask two teachers for a letter of recommendation. You need to ask one junior year teacher of an academic subject: Math, Science, English, History, or Foreign Language, AND one teacher of any subject area. To request the letter of recommendation:  

1. First, you must ask the teacher in person if he/she is willing to write your recommendation.  
2. Second, complete your Naviance Profile.  
3. Third, login to your Naviance account: Click on "Colleges I'm Thinking About;" scroll down the page and on the left side and click on "Letters of Recommendation." Follow the directions.  

If you request them before the end of the school year, the teachers will have plenty of time to write the letters over the summer. Remember that when school begins in September, the teachers are VERY BUSY and may not have time to write your letter. DON'T PROCRASTINATE! If you have any questions, please contact your counselor or visit the Guidance Office page on the website for more information.

Hailie is also a recent graduate of Widener University where she earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. She was an assistant coach for the 2022 season.

Host Families Needed



We are excited to welcome students from China to O'Hara this fall as part of Nacel Open Door. These F1 visa students are very excited to be introduced to an American family who they will live with while they are here to study at Cardinal O'Hara. These students speak English, have travel health insurance, and bring their own spending money for personal expenses. Host families provide room and board and receive a monthly hosting stipend to help offset expenses. Currently, we have 2 Chinese boys (seniors) that have applied for the 2023-2024 school year. Perhaps you have two extra rooms, as hosting two students is always an option. Maybe you have a close friend or neighbor who might also like to experience hosting a student. If you are willing to consider opening your heart and your home to one of these students, or would like more information, please contact Hope Egolf at 610-850-1398, or email. hegolf@team.nacelopendoor.org. 

The 2022 - 2023 school year must be paid in full and summer payments made for 2023 - 2024 in order for your child to receive a roster in mid-August. Please check FACTS for your balance information. Agreements for 2023 -2024 will become active in FACTS on May 10. Please contact

Denise Todd with any questions. Please review credits on your account as well.

Senior Parents: Your FACTS account must also be up to date in order for your child to have final transcripts sent to college. There will be no exceptions.
