Senior Night

The Class of 2025 met to start planning for scholarship and college applications on the evening of Tuesday, August 6, at the high school. Oasis High School Counselor Andy Lenon started Senior Night with his expectations for the students to be successful.

“The bottom line is I want students and families to feel supported with their post-secondary path after leaving Oasis Academy,” Lenon said.

“The goal is for students to leave with a passionate plan, so we start with mental health. I want my kids to be sound and as resilient as they can be going through their senior year and into college,” he continued.

Lenon has already begun meeting individually with the seniors and will continue weekly with each senior throughout the school year.

The class of 2024 was awarded over 2.6 million dollars in scholarship funds, so he knows the importance of starting early with the students.

“We start early, get in early, and start drafting powerful scholarship essays. Senior year is to have fun, be with friends, enjoy the process, take care of business, and take each day in because walking across that stage with family watching comes real quick,” Lenon said.

Along with discussing scholarships, Lenon also had US Army Sergeant Archuleta and University of Nevada representative Stephani Price on hand to discuss the students' available opportunities.

The University of Nevada, Reno admissions application opened at the beginning of August and all eligible Oasis seniors have already completed and submitted their applications.

“Thank you to all our amazing seniors, parents, US Army Sergeant Archuleta, and UNR rep Stephani Price for coming out,” Lenon said. “Seniors have applied, and we are ready to go. Let’s have an awesome year together. Let’s go Bighorns. And let’s go, Pack,” he closed.

Juniors and Seniors Start Classes

Oasis Academy juniors and seniors are back in the classroom. They began their school year with a three-week dual enrollment class through Western Nevada College and the Jump Start Program.

Juniors are taking Communications 101, which is an introduction to public speaking.

Seniors are taking Music 121, Music Appreciation. Music Appreciation includes analyzing styles and forms of music, discussing musical instruments, and studying major composers.

Both classes fulfill high school requirements and requirements for the student’s associate degrees.

“The music class I’m currently taking is very interesting,” said senior Taylynn Maynez, pictured right. “It has been fun to learn how many different genres of music came about and how they developed through time. The class is very engaging, and we watch lots of videos.”

Taking the classes gives students a couple of benefits for their progress toward graduation.

“The ability to provide a mini-session not only allows our students to complete a regular college class in just three weeks, it also lessens their course load in the fall. So, they only have to take four classes instead of five and remain on track to complete the requirements for an associate degree,” said Eric Grimes, Oasis Academic Advisor.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
