OVHS students participated in the 2026 Senator Judy Schwenk Model Senate. This is a three-day workshop that is spread over two months. Young people from various Berks County schools meet and immerse themselves in a mock Senate experience. The workshop culminates with a trip to Harrisburg, where they are given a tour of the Capitol building, including an introduction to the PA Senate at the beginning of the session. It was an excellent experience.
The 2026 representatives from OVHS included Benji Walters, Ben Reed, Brayden Samuelsen, and Brett Grater.
