What an exciting real-world learning experience for our 8th graders at OMS! We were thrilled to welcome back one of our very own Spartan alumni, Connor Stine, who spoke to the class about his exciting career as a chiropractor. He shared valuable insights into his profession and stressed the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. Students were fully engaged, and some even got to try a few of the techniques he uses every day. We are so grateful for our past and present Spartans!

The OMS Dance Team danced their way to support 2 wins last night! Come out to watch again at the next home game on Thursday, November 20th! Go Spartans!🩵🤍🖤

We’re proud to share that Olympia Middle School has once again been recognized as an Illinois Horizon School to Watch. OMS is one of only 30 middle schools in the entire state of Illinois to earn this distinction. The Schools to Watch program celebrates schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and continuous improvement.

As part of this recognition, OMS participated in a rigorous evaluation process led by representatives from the National Forum and continues to engage in ongoing self-assessment using the Schools to Watch framework.

This past June, our school was honored at the National Forum’s Annual Schools to Watch Conference in Washington, D.C. We’re incredibly proud of our students and staff for their dedication to making Olympia Middle School a place where every student can thrive and work to achieve personal success.
