Happy Summer to all of our students and staff!

Today is an extra special day at OAA as we celebrate Mr. Audie Ash's 50th birthday!

OAA would not be the incredible place it is to learn, grow, feel supported, and become the best version of ourselves without Mr. Ash's leadership at the helm. His dedication to our students, commitment to our staff, and genuine care for our entire school community make OAA a truly special place.

We are grateful for his guidance, encouragement, and unwavering belief in putting students first. Thank you, Mr. Ash, for everything you do each and every day.

Happy 50th Birthday, Mr. Ash! We appreciate you more than words can express, and we hope your day is as amazing as you are!

Our students from REACH and Discipline recently had the privilege of visiting the Kennedy Space Center, made possible by our UNISIG grant, to explore career paths and gain insight into the world of space exploration and NASA. The experience was enjoyed by all, and we are grateful for the opportunities provided by the grant.
