A Message from our Principal, Mr. Pflugrath...
Dear Osbourn Family,
We are happy to announce our graduation plans for this school year. Graduation will be held at Osbourn High School on June 1st through the 4th. Our seniors will receive a personalized in-person graduation ceremony for each student and their family. Please check our Eagle Newsletter and Schoology for specific dates by alpha. We will have our Senior Drive Through on May 25th! Also, we are excited that we are able to have two spectators for each student-athlete at our home events. Please contact our Student Activities office for more information. The staff at Osbourn High School is working diligently to prepare the school to welcome our School Dependent Learners and select CTE programs back to the building for classroom instruction. A friendly reminder, Friday March 5th is school picture make-up day. Please see the website, Schoology, or the newsletter for more details.
As always, thank you for your continued support and please reach out if you have questions.
