New OHS School Greeter
We have a wonderful new addition to the OHS Family! Nick Bettencourt is our new School Greeter. He grew up in Milford and attended the Milford schools such as OHS and East Shore. He attended Platt Tech High School where he studied automotive, then attended college in Massachusetts at Curry College where he received a Bachelors in Communication with a concentration in Radio Broadcasting and Audio Engineering. He is currently working two other jobs, one is at the town hall of Woodbridge where he is the Production Assistant recording town hall meetings, and his other job consists of doing live sound at a small indoor all ages concert venue "10 Selden" also in Woodbridge. When he has spare time he pursues his passions of photography, videography, playing guitar, and trying to start his own podcast.
Please join us in welcoming Nick to the OHS community.
