Osseo Area School District 279

A comprehensive PreK-12 school district, Osseo prepares students for college, post-secondary vocational training and the job market.

Students also receive instruction in writing, research, science, social studies, physical education and the arts.

The middle schools offer middle-level programming designed to let students sample elective courses and advance according to aptitude.

In additional, there is wireless internet access at all sites, providing a public network for students who bring their own technology devices for educational use (BYOD).

Each school provides a wide variety of talented and gifted program services, from enrichment at elementary level to secondary-level advanced classes in English, math, science and social studies.

Robert Gerhart, chairman of the school board, resigned after numerous citizens took screenshots of his public posts and comments on social media featuring racist and bigoted themes, and demanded his removal.

Gerhart resigned a week after numerous parents, residents and groups contacted the district with evidence and complaints.
