Ozark Academies steps out of the classroom! Ozark School District is proud to announce the launch of its Registered Youth Apprenticeship program: Academies at Work. The program is an extension of Ozark’s Academy Program where students will get hands-on experience in their chosen career pathway while earning school credit and getting paid for their work. 
 

Ozark’s audio production students had some fun in the OIC recording studio during finals teaming up with a student-led band, “The Kicks” to record a few songs.
