School Alma Mater[]

To you dear Osceola
We sing our highest praise
With joyful strength and duty
Our voices loud we raise.

To praise you for the knowledge
That you do give us all
To learn with joy and gladness
Within your well-loved halls.

To you dear Alma Mater
We pledge our loyalty
Your fame dear Osceola
Our constant aim will be.[3]

Fundamental[]

Osceola is the only fundamental High School in Pinellas County and in Florida. Osceola became a fundamental high school in 2006, but it did not take full effect until 2010 after the last non-fundamental students graduated. A fundamental school requires all Parents to attend monthly PTSA and meetings, and sign all homework completed by Students. If the parent does not attend the meeting, they are put in front of an Board, where they decide whether the student should leave the system. If the parent does not sign 10 homeworks in one class (or the student does not do 5 homeworks), the same happens. The school has a zero-tolerance policy to bullying. Any act of physical bullying results in permanent expulsion from the school and the fundamental system.
