Osceola School Board Chair Heather Kahoun Celebrates Spirit of Unity as High School Football Season Kicks Off

As Chair of the Osceola County School Board, I’m thrilled to see another exciting high school football season kick off in our district. But this isn’t just about touchdowns and tackles–it’s about so much more. Every Friday night, our stadiums come alive with a spirit that embodies the very heart of our community. Families, student-athletes, coaches, volunteers, and fans come togethers, creating a tapestry of unity that reflects the vibrant diversity of Osceola County. These games are more than just sporting events; they’re a celebration of what it means to be part of the Osceola County School District family.

Whether you’re cheering for the Kowboys (proud Kowboy alum right here!), the Longhorns, Storm Nation, or any of our other teams, you’re participating in something greater than the game itself. Our student athletes learn invaluable lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Our band members, cheerleaders, and student volunteers showcase their talents and dedication.

And in the stands, friendships are forged, memories are made, and community bonds are strengthened. No matter which school you support or your student attends, these Friday nights are about coming together, sharing in the excitement, and experiencing the pride of being part of something bigger than ourselves. It’s about the roar of the crowd, the thrill of competition, and the joy of shared experiences.

As we embark on this new season, let’s remember that we are all part of the same team–the Osceola County School District team. Our different school colors all blend together, and that makes our district unique and special. So, let’s fill those stands, cheer on our students, and celebrate the spirit of good sportsmanship. I look forward to catching you under those #FridayNightLights!
