🏆 Exciting News! Oskaloosa High School is thrilled to share that we have received recognition from the Iowa High School Athletic Association for our exceptional coach and student-athlete conduct throughout the 2022-23 school year!
Out of the IHSAA membership, which includes 168 schools, OHS proudly stands among the top 46%, who did not have a single student-athlete or coach ejected during the entire 2022-23 school year. 👏
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this incredible achievement! 🏅 As we gear up for an amazing start to the 2023-24 school year, we invite you to share in our excitement. Join us for our FIRST home football game TONIGHT! 🏈 The Varsity Indians will be taking on Washington at 7:30 p.m. at the Lacey Sports Complex.
📣 Let's come together to support our exceptional athletes and coaches while celebrating our dedication to sportsmanship and teamwork. See you there!
FAMILIES: We want to remind you that for the first three days of the school year (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), we will have a 60-minute early release from school.
To keep track of early release days and remain informed, we encourage you to view and download the 2023-24 school year calendar on our website at https://tinyurl.com/5n7ke3sy.
Thank you for your cooperation, and let's make this school year a fantastic one together! 💪📚

🛑 Attention Drivers! 🛑
PLEASE, do not run our school bus stop signs when they are extended. Remember that those red stop signs are there for a reason – to allow our students to depart the bus and cross the road safely. We've already had a car run a stop sign on the first day of school. Last year, we turned 41 violations over to the @Oskaloosa Police Department for enforcement.
To reinforce this, our buses have cameras that capture violations. We believe that by working together as a community, we can prevent accidents and ensure our students arrive at school or home without any harm.
Let’s work together to follow traffic laws and protect our children! Let's start the school year right by putting safety first! #ALLIN
