It is with great sadness that we share the loss of one of our students unexpectedly over the break. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the student’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Counselors will be available at Horace Mann to support students and staff as we navigate this loss together.

Our 6th grade Honors ELA students in Mrs. Outhier’s classes have been busy combining research and creativity for a meaningful purpose. ✍️🎨

Students created research projects and artwork that will be shared with our neighbors at Chisholm Trail Assisted Living Center. This experience gave students the opportunity to learn, create, and connect with others in our community.

Student safety is the school district’s highest priority, and the school district takes the allegations against the employee seriously. The school district will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement and will take further action as appropriate and in accordance with the law. Because this is an active criminal and employment matter, the school district is unable to share additional information at this time.
