A special highlight of the day was hearing from Ogallala alum, Dr. Melissa (Zimmerman) Mosel, now a pediatrician at Great Plains Pediatrics, who led one of the breakout sessions. What a powerful example for our students to see someone from their own community making an impact in the medical field.
Experiences like this are what OG Nation is all about… helping students dream big and see what’s possible for their future.

Today, we conducted a severe weather drill at Prairie View Elementary. Practicing these procedures is essential to keeping our students and staff safe in the event of severe weather.
During the drill, students followed established safety protocols, and staff guided them through the process in a calm and structured manner. We are proud of how our students responded and the seriousness they showed throughout the practice.
At PVE, this is part of building our Culture of Confidence—ensuring that both students and staff are prepared, informed, and ready to respond in any situation.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our school a safe place for all.

Go Big O!

At the March OPSD School Board meeting, the board honored 3 model students and one dedicated educator! These students & staff have shown what it means to do things “The OG Way.” They are risk-takers in and out of the classroom, show grit in all they do, and take ownership of their learning. We are so proud of our March students of the month, Sidney Gutierrez (elementary), Jacob Hoff (middle grades), Paige Armijo (high school), and staff member of the month, Keri Staab! Keep up the great work! We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments! #GoBigO #OGIndians #TheOGWay #CultureOfConfidence
