2025 Osakis High School Graduation Weather-Related Changes
Students and Parents,
Based on the amount of rain that we have received and will continue to receive over the course of the next 24 hours, the decision has been made to have an indoor graduation ceremony followed by an outdoor parade. The forecast for Friday, May 23, is currently calling for temperatures in the low 60s with light winds. Plan accordingly for the parade and use the notes listed below so you are prepared for graduation.
Sincerely,
Brad Hoffarth
Osakis High School Principal
Indoor Ceremony Reminders
* One parking spot per graduate/family will be reserved in the North and East lots.
* Staggered arrival times and the school parking lot map shared in the previous graduation email will still be used.
* There will still be two reserved seats per family on the floor in front of the stage.
* Junior Class Honor Marshals will escort parents/family to the two reserved seats in the family section.
* General admission guests will enter the building through the Preschool doors on the South side of the building.
* Seniors will meet in the old gym to get organized and lined up for the ceremony before walking as a group.
* Parents will leave the high school gym with their graduate(s) in alphabetical order during the processional from the high
school gym.
* Parents and their graduate(s) will report directly to their vehicles following the ceremony for the parade.
The 7th-grade FACS class learned about the history of food trucks and then came up with their own themed food trucks. They worked so hard on their food trucks, and the staff and students that voted on the best one sure had a hard time because they all did amazing.
Our Silverstreak Unified Athletes represented our school at the Track & Field meet in Pillager yesterday. Nice job, team and coaches!

Two students received certification in Microsoft Office after excelling in TestOut Office Pro. To obtain certification, students must complete an exam that assesses their ability to perform essential tasks in Microsoft Office productivity applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Congratulations to Lydia and Stephanie!
Second graders have been learning a computer science skill called block coding in the STEAM Lab. Today, they got to show off their skills with a robot dance party using Dash Robots. There were smiles and cheers all around! We are so proud of how hard the students worked making creative robot hats and learning how to write their code. Great job second graders!
