Okoboji High School is excited to share two upcoming opportunities for our school community to connect with the Iowa Judicial Branch on Tuesday, September 15.
Afternoon Justice Visit at Okoboji High School On the afternoon of September 15, Okoboji High School will host a visiting Iowa Supreme Court Justice. The Justice will meet directly with a group of students to discuss the role and responsibilities of the Iowa Supreme Court within state government, share insights into the judicial system, and take student questions in an interactive Q&A session.
Evening Oral Arguments in Spirit Lake Later that evening, the Iowa Supreme Court will hear oral arguments as part of its "Court on the Road" initiative. The public session will take place at 7:00 PM at the Sami Bedell Center for the Performing Arts at Spirit Lake High School (2701 Hill Avenue).
Featured Case: Andrew Perry v. Dordt University (Case No. 25–1608), involving a religious exemption claim under the Iowa Civil Rights Act.
Reception: A public reception hosted by members of the local bar will follow immediately after the arguments, giving attendees a chance to meet the Justices.
All community members, families, and students are welcome to attend the evening proceedings.
