  • Bob Mckillop Class of 2011

While at OHS, he played basketball all four years, three on the varsity team that won a championship each of his three years. Bob also earned all-league honors in basketball and was the school’s number one tennis player in each of those years. He was the Oroville city tennis champion when he was a senior and a member of the Block O Society all through high school. In addition to being an outstanding athlete, Bob served as Student Body Vice President when he was a senior, was the OHS delegate to Boys State when he was a junior, and was an accomplished trumpet player in the school band for four years.

  • Alvin Dunn Class of 2018
    Alvin Dunn Class of 2018 Alvin Dunn graduated from Oroville High School (OHS) in 1944, played basketball his freshman year and baseball the next three years. He also participated in dramatics during his first two years. Immediately after graduating, Al served two years in the United States Navy during World War II as a Technician Mate and was honorably discharged in 1946. He then attended Yuba College where he earned his AA degree and went on to Chico State where he earned his BA degree, teaching, and administrative credentials. Baseball was Al’s passion, so he was on the team at Chico State and also played semi-pro baseball with the Oroville Olives. 1947 - 1977, he played recreational softball in Oroville. In 1953, Al embarked on a highly successful 35-year career in public education, all of it in the Palermo School District. He taught at Palermo School from 1953-67, then was principal at Helen Wilcox School for 20 years, retiring in 1987. Al felt that all students should have access to a school library, so he established libraries at both schools, purchasing books and cataloging them himself. One of the libraries bears his name. Another imprint he left on Palermo Schools was establishing pre-school programs for students not yet of age to enter kindergarten. Al carried a soft spot in his heart for underprivileged children who suffered in school by not participating in school activities. He used his passion for baseball to encourage participation and to help build up their self-confidence. He spent countless numbers of hours teaching these kids how to hit, bunt, catch, throw and enjoy the game.

  • Gee Family Class of 2013
    Gee Family Class of 2013 The Gee Family is the first ever “family” to be inducted into the OUHSD Hall of Fame. The family meets the criteria for the category of Alumni as all nine siblings graduated from Oroville High School and for Distinguished Service due to the nine children establishing the Fred and May Gee Achievement and Scholarship Awards for both Las Plumas and Oroville High Schools, in honor of their parents. Fred Gee emigrated from his native China in 1936 and joined his father Lee “Charlie” You in Oroville. Charlie owned Tong Fong Low Restaurant. Because of anti-Chinese immigration policies in the early 20th century, both father and son entered the country under assumed identities using different surnames. As a 17 year old teenager, Fred could only speak Chinese, so was enrolled in the 3rdgrade at Bird Street School in order to learn English while working at Tong Fong Low. After serving in the United States Army during WWII, Fred returned to China to retrieve his wife May and their first born child, Wing Gee. They settled in Oroville where Fred joined his father as partner in the restaurant business. Fred Gee was an active member of the community and sponsored many youth activities and local organizations. Well known and widely respected in Oroville, Fred was honored as the Grand Marshall of the 1973 Feather Fiesta Days parade. The next eight children of Fred and May Gee were born in Oroville and attended Bird Street and Central Schools. All nine children graduated from Oroville High School between 1960 and 1977.

  • Sites Reservoir Project Public Draft EIR/EIS
    18. Cultural/Tribal Cultural Resources 18.1 Introduction This chapter describes the cultural resources setting for the Extended, Secondary, and Primary study areas. Cultural resources are sites, buildings, structures, objects, and districts that may have traditional or cultural value. This broad range of resources includes archaeological sites that reflect the prehistoric and historic-era past; historic-era resources, such as buildings and structures; landscapes and districts; and traditional cultural properties (TCPs), i.e., those resources that are historically rooted in a community’s beliefs, customs, and practices.1 Tribal cultural resources (TCRs), which were established by the State of California under Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and are similar resources that have specific cultural value to Native Americans, are also addressed. Descriptions and maps of these three study areas are provided in Chapter 1 Introduction. Permits and authorizations for cultural and tribal resources are presented in Chapter 4 Environmental Compliance and Permit Summary. The regulatory setting for cultural resources is presented in Appendix 4A Environmental Compliance. This chapter focuses primarily on the Primary Study Area. Potential impacts in the Secondary and Extended study areas were evaluated and discussed qualitatively. Potential local and regional impacts from constructing, operating, and maintaining the alternatives were described and compared to applicable significance thresholds. Mitigation measures are provided for identified potentially significant impacts, where appropriate. 18.2 Affected Environment 18.2.1 Extended Study Area 18.2.1.1 Prehistoric Context Archaeologists study the physical evidence of past human behavior called “material culture.”2 The archaeologists look for changes in material culture over time and across geographic regions to reconstruct the past.

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) encompassed 4,306 acres, including the FERC Project Boundary and a 200-foot radius surrounding New Bullards Bar Reservoir. YCWA requested the State Historic Preservation Officer’s (SHPO) concurrence on the APE in a letter dated March 21, 2012, and received SHPO’s concurrence in a letter dated April 19, 2012, in accordance with 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section (§) 800. For relicensing of the Project, FERC designated YCWA as FERC’s non-federal representative for purposes of consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, and the implementing regulations found in 36 CFR § 800.2(c)(4). YCWA conducted several consultation meetings with tribes and agencies beginning in 2009 and continuing into 2012. YCWA, tribes, and agencies collaboratively developed study proposals and selection of the TCP Study ethnographer, Albion Environmental, Inc. Invitations to participate in each meeting were sent to tribal representatives, FERC, SHPO, Plumas National Forest, and Tahoe National Forest. Most of these individuals and organizations participated in the meetings. On October 19, 2011, YCWA convened a meeting of tribal groups and agencies to introduce members of YCWA’s team, discuss the FERC-approved study, and to initiate field consultation with the tribes.

He spent a summer in AAA baseball with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League. He came to Oroville High School in ‘49. He spent two years in the Army Air Force.
