Osmond Community Schools History-“A school existed before the town was laid out. Early references to the first school have one thing in common – it was badly located. Constructed in 1889, writings indicate the town’s first school building was situated west of the village proper apparently not far from where the Petersen & Son firm was located.”“The first teacher was Mrs. Mary Frost of Plainview. The one-room building was later divided into two rooms and was also moved into town. A third room was added later. Three more public schools have served Osmond residents, one built in 1897 which burned in 1910; a replacement building was constructed in 1910 (both located in Northeast Osmond) and the present school at the north edge of town. The first class to graduate from Osmond High School was the Class of 1898, and had five students.”“In 1969 a citizens’ committee was authorized to study the feasibility of redistricting, consolidating 14 of the rural districts with the town school. The redistricting plan and one for a half-million dollar new school met with voter approval and students began classes there in January of 1962. In later years, the Foster district ceased operation of its elementary school and became a part of the Osmond district.”In October of 1999 a building addition was completed and the students began using the new facilities at Osmond Community Schools.

What the future holds for our students can hardly be imagined. However, one thing that is certain is that problem-solving and critical thinking skills will be critical to their success. The seamless integration of technology into our classrooms is not intended to replace our current instructional strategies, but to enhance and expand them. Through technology, students can learn to use critical thinking and analysis in solving meaningful problems in a globally connected environment. Students can also learn to approach technology in social responsible ways that reflect our community values, a skill that they can carry throughout their lives. 21st Century learning depends on the seamless integration of technology throughout the school program. To successfully integrate technology into our curriculum, we must have student access to technology, ongoing professional development for faculty, and a strong infrastructure. Our faculty ensures that our curriculum drives our decisions regarding technology. We believe that making such learning tools consistently available to our students will strengthen their development as critical thinkers and problem solvers, ultimately ensuring their success in the future.
