History

Oskaloosa was one of the high schools involved in court battles over segregated schools and the integration of African Americans in the late 19th century and very early 20th century. [5] [6]

The principal tried to censor an article in the student newspaper in 2003, but an appeal to the school board, recording of the principal making demands on the student, and a state law protecting student publications (Kansas Student Publications Act of 1992) from administrative censorship triumphed. [7] The student went on to major in journalism at the University of Missouri, worked as a television new reporter, and secured a communications job at Johns Hopkins radiology department.
