Ozark Mountain School District (OMSD) is a public school district that provides comprehensive education to its students from prekindergarten to grade 12 and is situated in the Ozark Mountains (hence the name of the district) and covers 368 square miles (950 km2) in northern Arkansas, United States.
OMSD formed in 2004 as a result of an Arkansas law stating that school districts must have a minimum of 350 students. This requirement led to the consolidation of three separate school districts, Bruno–Pyatt, St. Joe and Western Grove, into the Ozark Mountain School District. In 2012, the nearby Lead Hill School District failed in an attempt to consolidate with OMSD.
