Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage Month, annually observed from September 15 to October 15, is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Hispanic and Latino Communities.
In Orange County Schools, we proudly honor and celebrate the culture, contributions, traditions, and influence of these communities on our past, present, and future ✨!
All month long, OCS will celebrate and uplift the voices of these communities, including our annual Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, “Empoderando.” We invite you to come celebrate with us on October 15 at Orange High School with this year's theme, “In Unity Our Roots Grow,” filled with live performances, vendors, food trucks, and la cultura!
Stay tuned for the complete list of performances by students and members of our community closer to the event. We hope to see you there!
