Imagine a space where students make ideas a reality, a place where the boundaries between academic subjects blur, and learning becomes a hands-on adventure. At OPRF, this isn’t just a dream; it’s a reality.

What was once a humble arts and crafts room has transformed into the vibrant MakerSpace, a collaborative hub of innovation inside our high school. This modern learning space offers all students access to a range of tools and technologies.  Huskies can get their hands on everything from 3D printers and scanners to recording equipment and sewing machines.

Students are empowered to explore passions, discover new interests, and enhance traditional classroom experiences. Whether they’re recording original songs, designing fashion, printing valves for science projects, or engineering structures to visualize advanced calculus problems, the MakerSpace provides the perfect platform for project-centered learning.

As OPRF’s facilities continue to evolve, the MakerSpace serves as an example of the impact 21st century learning spaces can have on the youth of our community. Imagine Project 2 continues this work by bringing new Physical Education and renovated theatre facilities to OPRF by summer 2026.

The OPRF High School Imagine Foundation champions community excellence by raising funds to support facilities improvements to meet evolving educational needs.

You can help ensure that future generations of Huskies have increased access to modern facilities by making a tax-deductible gift to support Project 2. Imagine becoming part of the team building the future of OPRF!

The Imagine Foundation

The mission of the OPRFHS Imagine Foundation is to champion community excellence by raising funds to support OPRF facilities improvements to meet evolving educational needs. The Foundation was created by community volunteers who understand that the school district cannot cover the costs of the entire Imagine Plan out of its cash reserves, nor can taxpayers. The Foundation is an independent nonprofit that works in partnership with the school to augment public investment with private philanthropy.

Imagine Foundation invites you to take part in this unique community system of support by donating to help secure the future of OPRF Huskies! www.imagine-foundation.org/donate
