OAA Alumni Reunion Weekend is coming up October 16–17!

We’re looking forward to welcoming alumni and friends back to campus for a weekend of reconnecting, reminiscing, and spending time together.

Friday evening, Pastor Nathaniel Oregon, Class of 2001, will be our speaker. Nathaniel is an Arkansas native and currently pastors the Dalton Seventh-day Adventist Church in Georgia. He and his wife, April, began dating while they were students at OAA, and this year he returns to celebrate 25 years since graduation.

For Sabbath worship, Jackson Whitacre, Class of 1976, will be our speaker. Jackson has remained active in church and community service over the years and currently serves as a chaplain with Racers for Christ. He has also served OAA through the Alumni Association, and this year he returns to celebrate 50 years since graduation.

We hope you’ll make plans to join us for Alumni Reunion Weekend. We’d love to see you back at Ozark!

As part of the ARKLA Conference’s We Are One event, elementary students (grades 5-8) in Adventist schools in the ARKLA Conference have been on OAA's campus learning art, science, and music. Their time has included focused music rehearsals—and it all comes together in a sacred concert this Sabbath afternoon.

Join us on Saturday, March 28, at 3:00 p.m. at the Gentry SDA Church for this meaningful program. We’d love to have you there.

This October, Ozark Adventist Academy was blessed to welcome alumni back to campus for our annual Alumni Reunion Weekend. Each year we honor milestone graduating classes, and it’s always special to see who is able to return—whether it’s a group of familiar faces or a single alum representing their year with a smile.

Thank you to everyone who made the trip to reconnect, reminisce, and share stories of how Ozark has shaped your life. Your presence helps keep the OAA family strong.

Here are a few photos of this year’s honored classes. We’re grateful for each person who joined us, and we look forward to welcoming even more alumni home next year!
