The 2024–2025 yearbooks are tentatively scheduled to be ready by mid-November. Production was delayed due to photo collection and layout development; however, progress is moving forward. Photos taken by Mr. White have been shared to assist with completion, and Mr. Leftridge and his team are meeting soon to finalize the remaining details. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer to the release! 

Staying in the know just got easier for grades 9-12! The High School Information Station has been created and displayed in the hallway of the HS building, designed to keep both students and staff up to date. Here you'll find class spelling words by grade level, the FLEX 55 guide, ACT dates and so much more.

Special kudos to Mr. Matos for his creativity and commitment to bringing this vision from concept to reality. His efforts ensure our Mustangs have the tools and information to stay informed and succeed.

Capturing this years theme Year of the Gentleman in action! Since its start the theme has been coming to life in powerful ways. One of the most inspiring sights on campus has been seeing our young men pause to pray in the halls. These moments remind us that leadership begins with faith and that true gentlemen carry prayer into every space they enter. 

This is a friendly reminder that beginning Monday, October 6, students are required to wear their full formal uniforms as outlined below:

• Middle School & High School (Grades 7–12): Formal uniforms are to be worn Mondays and Fridays.

• Elementary (Grades K–6): Formal uniforms are to be worn on Fridays.

• Seniors: May wear their Senior attire on Mondays; however, they must be in formal uniforms on Fridays.

Please note that there are no exceptions to this policy.

For your reference, the Formal Uniform Policy is attached below. We ask for your support in ensuring that your child arrives at school in the proper uniform on the designated days.

At OAA, we believe music is more than just notes on a page; it’s a language that shapes character, creativity, and confidence. Under the leadership of Ms. Minisee, our K–6 students are experiencing the joy of music while gaining a strong foundation in the fundamentals.

From learning tone and pitch to practicing rhythm and discovering how to read sheet music, our young musicians are building skills that will stay with them for a lifetime. Each lesson invites them to listen closely, work together, and express themselves through song and sound. 

Adding to the richness of the program, we’re grateful to celebrate the contribution of OAA alum Eleazar Williams, C/O 2023, who has returned to give back to his alma mater by sharing his gift on the keys. His presence at the piano not only inspires students musically but also reminds them of the legacy they are part of and the opportunities that come from nurturing their talents.

We’re excited to see how these experiences will grow into a lifelong love of music for our students. Bravo to Ms. Minisee, Mr. Williams, and our young musicians for making music such a vibrant part of OAA life!
