Happy National School Counseling Week!
From helping students navigate friendships and future plans to offering calm in stressful moments, our school counselors do it all. We are so grateful for the heart, patience, and dedication they bring every single day. School counselors are an important part of every school team and we at Okoboji are blessed with some of the best! Thank you to OES Counselor Carrie Stauss, OMS Counselor Eric Thompson, and OHS Counselor Emily Schaefer (as well as Counseling Intern Jaydn Barnett!) for everything you do!

The numbers from first semester are in and once again Okoboji High School students took full advantage of the opportunity to earn college credits in high school! Our students learn and grow from college-credit classes taught in our classrooms by OHS instructors, on location at Iowa Lakes Community College sites, and online! This helps them advance their knowledge, reach their post-secondary goals more quickly, and do it all at no cost!
