OTHS selected for international program
Adobe Youth Voices

Osgoode Township High School has now completed its second year as part of the Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) program. AYV is a global network of schools and nonprofit organizations in US, Canada, London, and India. Adobe has partnered with OTHS to engage teachers and students in the use of digital tools to create with purpose, express their ideas about issues important to their lives and have their voices heard by a wide range of audiences.
