Our Mission

...to educate by helping students acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to achieve their individual potential...

Welcome

We are honored to have the privilege of serving over 4,000 students in the Oregon School District. We understand and appreciate the trust parents and community members place in us, and we are committed to helping each and every student achieve their potential.

As a lifelong educator that has served the Oregon School District in various roles for much of my career, and as the proud parent of two OSD graduates, my connection to our community runs deep. I know firsthand the dedication of our staff and the strong positive impact our schools have on our students and community. It is the honor of  my career to serve as your superintendent.

Dr. Shannon Anderson, OSD Superintendent

Our district’s foundation is built upon five core values: Relevant & Empowering Learning Experiences, Caring & Professional Educators, Educational Equity, Strong Family & Community Partnerships, and a Whole Child Emphasis. To me, these values aren't just words on a page—they are the principles I experienced as a parent and have championed as an educator. I am fully committed to ensuring we continue to provide an inclusive and high-quality educational experience for every student.

The success of our District is the result of our longstanding tradition of partnering with our families, educators, Board of Education and community. By working together, we have undergone several important initiatives that make the Oregon School District a "destination district" for families, students, and educators. Our schools are truly the centerpiece of the greater Oregon community.

It is a joy to lead a district that my own family has called home, and I thank you for the opportunity to continue serving this wonderful community!
