OHS Students Receive Honors

January 25, 2013

Congratulations to OHS senior Keifer Wiley who recently participated in a Court of Honor, achieving the rank of Eagle Scout which is the highest achieveable rank in the Boy Scouts. The well-attended ceremony was held at Orange Village Hall, with comments by Mayor Kathy Mulcahy.

Wiley attained his designation by refurbishing 25 park benches for Orange Village over the course of a year and nearly 200 hours of work. He led dozens of young scouts and community members in completing this project. His accomplishments were featured in the latest edition of the Orange Village newsletter.

Wiley has received other recent honors as well -- he and fellow Orange High School senior Praxton Smith (who goes by the stage name "Zxari") were also selected to perform their original songs with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra in concert on March 16th. Wiley's songs "Coming of Age" and "Dream of You Tonight" as well as Smith's "Surreally Beautiful" and "Too Wise" will be featured with professional orchestration.

Congratulations to both of our students!!!
