Welcome to a New School Year
OSD Families,
The first day of school is just around the corner, and I want to take a moment to thank you for entrusting us with your children. We’re excited to welcome our students back and begin another school year filled with growth, learning, and opportunity.
This year’s theme in the Osceola School District is “Rowing as 1 Osceola.” This means we are united - every student, every staff member, every family, working together and moving in the same direction. With focus, purpose, and collaboration, we will rise to meet the challenges ahead and create powerful opportunities for our students to thrive.
Our team has been working diligently to prepare our campuses, classrooms, buses, and cafeterias. Whether it’s your child’s first day in Pre-K or their final year of high school, we want them to feel safe, supported, and seen from the moment they walk through the doors.
We are proud to partner with you in your child’s journey. Together, as one community, we will make this a year to remember.
Let’s go!
Dr. Gregory Hodges
Superintendent
Osceola School District
Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we will be postponing the upcoming State Championship Ring Ceremony. This event is incredibly special to our school community, and we want to ensure that it is celebrated with the full recognition, joy, and excellence our students have earned.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to reschedule. A new date will be announced soon, and we look forward to coming together as one Osceola to honor this remarkable achievement in the way it truly deserves.

Mrs. Hice faithfully served the Osceola School District as a dedicated cafeteria worker, and her kind spirit and warm smile touched the lives of countless students and staff over the years. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
Earlier today, a member of our staff experienced a medical emergency. They are currently receiving medical attention. Out of respect for their privacy and that of their family, no further details will be shared at this time.
We appreciate the concern and support from our community and ask for continued thoughts during this time.
