Ozark Tiger E-News

Last year, Ozark High School launched its new Academy model with the aim of helping students connect with their peers, explore different interests, and get hands-on experience as they plan for their futures. One year in, and students have already done such incredible things like:

• Catering business meetings
• Helping run a job fair
• Growing fresh produce for culinary classes
• Building robots
• Taking portraits of K9 dogs
• Learning from industry professionals
• And so much more!

We can't wait to see what all they do this year! Learn more about our Academy program here.

In case you didn't know it, our bus drivers are amazing! Ths first week of school during that extreme heat, there was a not-so-fun incident on bus #41 involving some yellowjackets. The following week, the bus driver, Paul Crow, presented some of his students with this very special award.

We love the thoughtfulness behind this and how much our bus drivers care for our students!

Did you know all of our schools have their own Facebook and Instagram pages? There are so many cool things happening across our District everyday … and we can’t put all those photos on the District social media pages!

We’re not going to tell you what’s happening in these photos, but you can find the details on that school's social media pages!

Ozark Schools District Health Services is here to promote health and wellness for all of our students. We want to help empower each student to develop lifelong healthy habits that allow them to stay happy and healthy. Our goal is to help keep our students in a safe and healthy learning environment so that they can receive the best education possible.
