Laughter echoes through the Ozark Junior High as students rehearse choreography, practice lines, and fine-tune musical numbers. For the second year, the junior high musical theatre class is bringing a full-scale production to life. This spring’s show, “Matilda Jr.”, is giving students far more than a chance to perform. It’s giving them confidence, connection and a place to belong.

Have you ever wondered what your student will do when they finish high school? What job, what career, what are the employment options? Is college or technical school an option? Will they live with others? Will they need support or will they live independently? To help you answer those questions, Ozark School District Special Services Department is hosting a Transition and Resource Fair.

This school year there’s a new kind of roar echoing through the halls of Ozark Junior High, and it’s not coming from the mascot. It’s the sound of students talking about responsibility, ownership, awareness, and respect — the four pillars of a new program that’s turning positive behavior into the loudest kind of school spirit.

Ozark Junior High was buzzing with excitement on May 21 as students traded their usual class schedule for something a little different: Career Day. Bringing in roughly 50 local businesses and professionals, the event brought the real world to classrooms sharing what it’s like to work in everything from firefighting to pharmacy, restaurants, and more.
