Yesterday, our students and staff participated in Mustang Pride Day and went out in the community and surrounding areas doing various yard work, cleaning, painting, washing, raking and general sprucing up.

Great thanks to the following businesses who donated to provide lunch to our staff and students after their hard work! Davis County Cattleman -Grilled hamburgers, buns, condiments Bloomfield Dollar General and Ottumwa South Hy-vee - Potato chips Seaboard Foods - Bottled water GO MUSTANGS!

Thank you, Cattlemen, for feeding us during Mustang Pride Day! YUM! #MustangPrideDay #OneCommunity

Mustang Pride Day deadline is quickly approaching!

Dear Parent, Guardian, or other Legally Responsible Adult: Our school is getting ready to administer an annual school climate and culture survey called Conditions for Learning to students in grades 9-12. This survey administration is required by the state’s plan to meet a federal law called the Every Student Succeeds Act. Our school will conduct the survey the week of April 25th. All Iowa public school districts will use the Conditions for Learning Survey (Survey) to improve safety, student engagement and the overall learning environment so that all Iowa students have optimum conditions for learning. Our work to improve safety, student engagement and the overall learning environment will have a lasting impact on the future. Please click the link below to learn more about this survey as well as access a written refusal form if you do not want your child/children to participate. You may need to download the attachment in order to view the document correctly. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dNMIfDZRW7ybB3JBKqY7i0xZc0LzMUKe/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=113224808169772072610&rtpof=true&sd=true If you have any questions please contact the High School office at 641.664.2200 ext 1132.
