The Owosso Public School District is comprised of three elementary buildings operating during the school year, a secondary campus, central office/alternative high school and an early childhood center that is open year-round.

Approximately 3,100 students are enrolled in the preschool through high school facilities of the Owosso Public Schools. The student body represents an economically diverse population with approximately forty percent of the students coming from low-income backgrounds. The district is currently implementing the International Baccalaureate program.

The Owosso Public School District does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation or gender identity), disability, age, religion, height, weight, marital or family status, military status, ancestry, genetic information, or any other legally protected category, (collectively, “Protected Classes”), in its programs and activities, including employment opportunities. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language proficiency is not a barrier to admission or participation.
