Welcome Back Students and Osborne Community
To the Students and/or Parent/Guardian:
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!
Our goal at Osborne Jr/Sr High School is to provide a rigorous education for every student. This requires collaboration between school, families, and communities. Students at OHS/OJH will be learning college and career readiness standards, contributing to the community through civic engagement, developing socially and emotionally, and building skills to help enrich their future academic success. It is important for students to seek daily educational challenges, learn from their mistakes, and approach learning as a continuous process. Cultivating a mindset that we don’t give up when things are hard will help children to see the value in determination.
We need students, parents/guardians, communities, and staff working collaboratively to provide a safe and successful academic environment where all students can succeed. Please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of our faculty or staff if you have questions, concerns, ideas or need assistance. Have a great school year!
Sincerely,
Jason Wilson
Osborne Jr. / Sr. High School Principal
Welcome back to the 2023-2024 School Year!
