This afternoon, a group of Osceola High School students returning from ANC College on the Blytheville campus experienced a significant delay due to a major traffic accident. Please note that neither our school nor our students were involved in the accident.
As a result of the traffic jam, the bus was held up for an extended time, and unfortunately, students were unable to have lunch. With the assistance of the Osceola Police Department, Arkansas State Troopers, and Highway Patrol, the bus was safely rerouted and is now on its way back to campus.
Once the bus arrives, we will provide food for our students as quickly as possible.
We truly appreciate the cooperation of law enforcement in helping resolve this situation and thank our parents for their patience and understanding as we worked to ensure our students’ safe return.
Join us for an informational session to learn about Title I funding and the resources available to support student success. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, Oct 8 in the middle school gym from 5PM to 6PM. We look forward to seeing you there!

Meet Anthony Gonzalez-Oliva, a 9th grader at Osceola High School.
Anthony moved from Cuba to Osceola in 2023. When he first arrived, he spoke no English—but through hard work and determination, he is now fluent! His favorite food is rice with pork, and what he loves most about being Hispanic is having the gift of knowing two languages.
We are so proud of Anthony and celebrate the incredible contributions he and other Hispanic students bring to our district every day.
