On Sunday afternoon, our OHS Key Club students spent time at Wel-Cov Assisted Living for their “Chalk the Walk” project, filling the sidewalks with colorful messages and uplifting art. It was so special to see residents and visitors come out, share smiles, and enjoy the creativity!
Moments like these remind us what community is all about... Connection, kindness, and showing up for one another. We love seeing our students make a difference in the lives of those in our community!

⚫️🖤 OPSD STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK | DAY 1 🖤⚪️
We’re starting Staff Appreciation Week at Ogallala High School, and it’s hard to put into words just how much this group does.
They’re preparing students for what’s next, while still showing up for what students need right now. Pushing, supporting, listening, encouraging… day in and day out. Not every moment makes it into a picture, but the impact is everywhere.

At the April 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 April students of the month, Noah Loera (elementary), Arya Dethlefs (middle grades), Carson Roland (high school), and staff member of the month, Jared Austin! Keep up the great work! We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments! #CultureOfConfidence
Prairie View students and families, we’ve got 3 more weeks of Beanstack winners to celebrate… and it’s been so fun watching our readers stay consistent and keep logging those minutes!
We’re down to the final stretch of the school year, with just 2 weeks left to get those minutes in. There’s still plenty of time to jump in or keep your streak going.
If you haven’t logged in a while, this is your reminder! If you’ve been reading all along, keep it up… It’s paying off! Let’s finish the year strong and see a few more new names on that winner list!

Always learning. Always growing.
Several members of our OPSD team spent the day at the Google for Education Nebraska Summit, diving into new ways to support our students and staff. From exploring how Gemini can enhance learning, to discovering tools within Google that help keep our schools and systems safe, it was a day full of meaningful learning and forward thinking.
Even more exciting, Jennifer Jones (9–12 Science Teacher & Teaching and Learning Coordinator at OHS) took the stage during the Demo Slam, sharing how she uses Gems within Google Gemini to solve visualization challenges for her students. When the right resources didn’t exist, she built what she needed using AI—creating new ways to help students truly understand complex concepts.
Shoutout to Joshua Jerome (IT Director), Jennifer Jones, and Rachel Max (Prairie View Librarian & Community Engagement Director) for representing OG Nation and bringing back ideas that will continue to move our district forward.
