Welcome to “Keeping Up With the Raccoons”—the official podcast of Oconomowoc High School! I’m your host, Principal Jason Curtis—also known as the one Raccoon you can’t catch up with!

In this episode of Keep Up With the Raccoons, I sit down with two inspiring seniors whose journeys to graduation couldn’t be more different—but equally powerful.

David Parks opens up about a rocky start to high school, how wrestling helped turn things around, and the crucial support he received from teachers and his counselor along the way.

Lia Nicholson shares her bold decision to switch school districts as an 8th grader in search of more opportunities—and how OHS delivered through academics, clubs, and athletics.

Together, their stories show that the road to graduation is rarely a straight line—but with resilience, support, and the right environment, it can lead to incredible growth.
