Welcome,
Welcome to the Odessa R-7 School District! We are proud of our school system and its long tradition of excellence. Excellence occurs
when students, staff, parents and the community recognize the value of education by working together to prepare our students for the
future.
The Odessa R-7 School District has earned a statewide reputation as an innovative educational leader, and our staff is working
continually to provide the highest quality instructional program for our students. We help our students master the basics, develop
practical life skills, become problem solvers, learn to communicate and work effectively with others, and develop patterns for lifelong
learning.
We want you to get to know us and learn about our history, our financial situation, and our educational programs. We invite you
to become acquainted with the faculty and administration, the curriculum and special programs, and the buildings which students
occupy.
At the same time, we would like an opportunity to get to know you. We encourage you to visit the buildings, classrooms and offices
which are in our district.
We are eager to answer your questions or offer assistance. As always, we appreciate your support.
