Tonight we are here to support our Warriors – student athletes and musicians – as they begin the 2025 season.
We recognize the countless hours and the sacrifices they have made to represent the Ontario community.
We ask that you support these dedicated young men and women – not only in victory, but in all the obstacles they will face in the coming months.
Show the surrounding area the ONTARIO DIFFERENCE.
Stand proud and support our brave, student athletes.
BE WARRIORS!
Ontario Fans

ONTARIOLOCALSCHOOLSADMINISTRATION
Ontario Local Schools Families, Welcome to Copeland Field at Niss Stadium!
It was on this very field that I first stepped into leadership—an experience that forever shaped the course of my life. I remain deeply thankful for the coaches who instilled in me the values of hard work, sportsmanship, sacrifice, and perseverance. Those lessons have guided me into a rewarding and joyful life, and their influence cannot be measured.
Today, as I look around, I am filled with gratitude for our Athletic Boosters whose tireless efforts and sacrifices have built outstanding facilities and programs for our students. Because of their commitment, our athletes are able to enjoy the same kind of transformative experiences that once meant so much to me. Thank you for the countless ways you continue to invest in our young people. This season, whether your child is competing in football, volleyball, cross country, cheerleading, tennis, soccer, or golf, I encourage you to join us in making it a memorable success. True success extends far beyond wins and losses—it is found in the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the memories carried for a lifetime. Let us always show the sportsmanship, pride, and respect that reflect the proud legacy of Ontario. Finally, I want to recognize our mighty Warrior band and the music boosters. Their passion and energy help make Friday nights unforgettable. The memories our band members create—performing before such dedicated fans—will stay with them forever.
Thank you and GO WARRIORS!

ONTARIOmiddle SchoolADMINISTRATION
Welcome to the 2025-26 school year here at Ontario Local Schools. I am a 1999 graduate of Ontario High School and have been employed with the district for 12 years. I’ve served as High School Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, Head Football Coach and District Attendance Coordinator before my appointment to the Middle School Principal Job here at OMS.
The education that I received at Ontario and the sense of community that it provided my family growing up is the reason my wife and I moved our family here 12 years ago.
Athletics have always been a big part of my life. I believe that athletics and extracurriculars are an extension of the classroom. In a dynamic fashion they teach lessons about leadership, hard work, perseverance and teamwork. I have witnessed over the past 11 years the impact an involved and active booster club can make on a school district and community. As a result of that involvement we have beautiful facilities, so thanks to all of you.
To the students, parents and fans please remember to respect the game, its participants and the facilities.
Thank you and GO WARRIORS!
