Oskaloosa High School will be welcoming a new Activities Director in July. Ms. Jamie Jacobs will be moving to the district after spending the past few years working for the Oelwein Community School District, and she will be leading the OHS Activities Department starting on July 1.

In an interview with the No Coast Network, Jacobs said she was drawn not only to Oskaloosa’s potential as a district, but to the Oskaloosa community as a whole.

Jacobs, who has history both in coaching different sports and teaching band at various levels K-12, said that one of the things that stood out to her about Osky athletics during the interview process was the passion of the district’s coaches.

As for potential new developments that could be coming to Oskaloosa’s Activities Department, Jacobs said she preferred to get the lay of the land first before implementing any sweeping changes.

Our full conversation with Jacobs is available below.
