Students Spotlight: OMS Celebrating Midyear Academic Growth

At the midpoint of this school year, we are proud to recognize our students who have displayed academic growth, perseverance, and dedication. We had over 2/3 of our student population demonstrate outstanding progress across one or multiple subject areas on the Atlas Winter Interim Tests. They have shown that consistent effort and a positive mindset truly make a difference in student's academic growth.
Please join us in congratulating all students who met their mid year growth projectory in either Math, ELA or Science on the winter Atlas Interim Assessments. You can click on this link https://photos.app.goo.gl/uzXe8d2JwcmSfgh48 to views all the students who have their met mid year growth goals.

The experience was made possible thanks to generous ticket donations from BRS. We are incredibly grateful for their support in recognizing our student-athletes and giving them a chance to enjoy an unforgettable NBA experience.

Black History Month Spotlight

In 2011, KenDrell Collins made history by becoming Osceola School District’s first African-American male Valedictorian. His achievement marked a historic milestone for the district and a proud moment for the entire community. Through discipline, perseverance, and academic excellence, KenDrell rose to the top of his class and set a powerful example for future generations. More than a title, his accomplishment represents leadership, determination, and the breaking of barriers.

Today, KenDrell continues to exemplify excellence as an accomplished attorney and successful business owner, carrying forward the same drive and commitment that defined his academic journey.

During Black History Month, we proudly recognize KenDrell Collins for making history and inspiring others to pursue excellence.
