TEMPO congratulates the OA class of 2026!

TEMPO had the honor of providing scholarships this year to 4 deserving seniors who have been dedicated and given back to the music department throughout their time at Oliver Ames High School. 2 were provided to students pursuing music in college and 2 were provided to students who have been exemplary in leadership and service to the program as a whole.

Will, Carina, Katie and Jordyn - we are thankful for what you’ve contributed to OA music and wish you the best in college!

We would like to additionally thank the alumni parent volunteers who read through all the essays, which were submitted anonymously for consideration. We couldn’t operate without our parent community and volunteers!
