If you have any questions, talk with Mrs. Quinn in the Main Office or Mrs. Livingston in the Guidance Office. To reach out for an adult, fill out the OHS Student Check-in Form below. There is always someone here to support you!

Our Team for Academic, Mental Health & Student Support

Otsego Public Schools’ Student Support Services (SSS) team is composed of counselors, social workers, behavioral specialists and a psychologist along with other support personnel.

The focus of the SSS team is to help students navigate the social/emotional/behavioral challenges associated with their developmental ages.

The SSS team can help students with tangible needs such as clothing, food, and community resources; they can also help with everything from mental health needs to friendship issues.
