The Ozark Board of Education voted to hire Jared Lotz as the Ozark Middle School principal for the 2025-26 school year during a special board meeting May 21. The position became available recently after current Principal Dr. Eric Russell accepted the superintendent position at the Sparta School District for next year. 

Congratulations to our 2024-25 OZcar Staff of the Year winners for each building! Ozark School District is blessed to have such a passionate, caring and supportive staff. While these are the building winners, dozens more staff members were nominated. The District winners will be chosen from these building winners and will be announced in August.

There’s nothing like a friendly March Madness competition to get middle school students — and staff — reading more books!

Fifth graders at Ozark Middle School sat attentively as Craig Kondracki, OMS counselor, stood before them.

"Are you creative, analytical, adventurous or compassionate?" he asked. “Today, we're going to talk about something really important, you. Your personality, your interests, and how they might connect to your future career.”
