Back to School Bash
The 2026 Back to School Bash will be Saturday, Aug. 15 and helps Ozark students in grades K–12 start the school year with confidence by providing a backpack, school supplies, hygiene kits, and access to community resources. It's also a great family-friendly event to help kick off the school year!
2022 Bond: Completed as Promised!
In April 2022, Ozark voters approved a $19 million no-tax increase bond issue to construct three storm shelters and an indoor activities building at the high school. In fall 2024, those projects were completed as promised. The district not only was able to accommodate growth, but remained under budget. The remaining $5 million supported capital improvement projects around the district, and in spring 2026, we celebrated the last project — the new baseball field!
