We are excited to welcome Brandon Snodgrass, better known as “Snod” or “Coach S,” to the Bobcat family! Coach S will be teaching High School Weights, 9th & 8th Grade Health, 7th & 8th Grade PE, High School Personal Finance, and Work-Based Learning. He is also the Varsity Bobcat Volleyball and Basketball Coach.
Outside of school, Brandon enjoys golfing, running, spending time with his nieces and nephews, and participating in way too many fantasy sports leagues. He also enjoys spending time with his dad and brother talking basketball strategy. When it comes to his favorite teams, you can find him cheering for the Cubs, IU, Colts, and Pacers!
Brandon's journey in education has taken him well beyond Indiana. His first teaching job out of college was in Quito, Ecuador, where he spent five years. He describes those years as the best experience of his life and is thankful for the many memories and friendships he made along the way. While in Ecuador, he learned Spanish and continues to work on maintaining and improving his ability to speak the language. He hopes to eventually add Spanish to his teaching license. Looking ahead, Coach Snodgrass has no plans to stop learning. One of his goals is to return to school in the next couple of years to earn a fourth degree in administration.
When asked why he chose to become a Bobcat, Coach S said: “I knew about the rich history of the Bobcat Basketball Programs (boys and girls) and I wanted to be part of something special. I hope I can do my part and put Bobcat Basketball on the map.”
We are excited to have Coach Snodgrass bringing his experience, passion for education, and love of basketball to Oregon-Davis. We can't wait to see the impact he makes both in the classroom and throughout our athletic programs!
Welcome to the Bobcat family, Coach Snod!

One of our students was injured during PE and required medical attention and transport to the hospital. His parents are with him, and he is receiving the care he needs.
We wanted to share this brief update to help put the minds of our parents and community at ease, especially for anyone who may have seen emergency vehicles at the school.
A special thank you as well to our Oregon-Davis staff members who responded quickly, assisted the student, and helped throughout the situation.
We appreciate Starke County EMS and all of our local first responders for always being there when we need them. ❤️🖤

Good Evening, Bobcats!
Today’s storms left quite a mess on many of our roads. Given the current road conditions, along with the potential for fog in the morning, Oregon-Davis Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12.
We hope the extra time allows for improved road conditions and better visibility in the morning.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Stay safe, Bobcats! ❤️🖤🐾

All of our buses have safely dropped off their students for the evening, with the exception of Bus 1, which is still completing its route.
A BIG shout-out to our amazing staff, and especially our bus drivers! Given the circumstances today, our staff absolutely knocked it out of the ballpark. They stayed calm, kept our students safe, and helped keep them comfortable and reassured throughout the storm. We could not be more appreciative of how everyone responded today!
The good news is that power has been restored to the school. We will, however, be under a boil order for the next 72 hours. We will have bottled water available for students at school. Students are also more than welcome to bring an extra bottle or two of water from home, especially if they tend to drink a lot throughout the day.
Thank you to our parents and families for your patience, flexibility, and understanding today. We know situations like this can be stressful for everyone, and we truly appreciate your support.
Tonight, we will continue monitoring road conditions and power outages throughout the district to determine whether we will be able to begin school on time tomorrow. We will communicate any changes as soon as a decision is made.
Stay safe, Bobcats, and have a great night! ❤️🖤🐾

The storm has passed, and all students and staff are safe. ❤️🖤
We are currently without electricity. At this time, we do have limited phone capabilities; however, due to the volume of calls, please be patient if you need to reach the school. We are also checking road conditions throughout the district to ensure it is safe for our buses and families to travel.
Depending on the length of the power outage, please stay tuned in the event an early dismissal becomes necessary. We will communicate any changes as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of Oregon-Davis Schools. ❤️🖤
