🔬🧪 Scranton High School students attended Science Day at the University of the Ozarks today!
From hands-on experiments in the labs to engaging discussions with Ozarks faculty, students explored classrooms, participated in interactive learning, and experienced science in action. It was an exciting opportunity to discover the possibilities in STEM and see what studying Science and Math at Ozarks can look like! 🌟📚

Game update for Nemo Vista!

Lots of character pumpkins have already made it into the library! You still have time to bring your decorated pumpkin in, deadline is this Friday, October 31, 2025.

Game time pushed back for games at Oden.

Some pumpkins have been donated to the school. They will be sitting outside both the elementary and the high school for whoever would like one. These would make great pumpkins for the elementary Book Character Pumpkin Contest!!
