Oakbrook Preparatory School

🎉 Welcome to the Oakbrook Team, Tabitha Harder! 🎉

Tabitha brings a wealth of experience and a lifelong passion for the game. As a former point guard, she helped lead both her high school and college teams to state and national championships, including a national AAU title. The discipline, leadership, and perseverance she developed through basketball have continued to shape her journey as a pastor’s wife, mother of four, and physical therapist.

As a coach, Tabitha is passionate about building more than successful basketball players. Her goal is to cultivate a Christ-centered culture that develops character, leadership, and faith while preparing young women for life beyond the game.
We are grateful for the experience, wisdom, and heart for discipleship that Coach Harder will bring to Oakbrook Athletics.

Please join us in giving Coach Harder a warm Oakbrook welcome!

🎉 Welcome to the Oakbrook Cheer Program, Lindsey Dean! 🎉

For the past four years, Lindsey has been a valued member of the Oakbrook faculty, building meaningful relationships with students and families. Her passion for cheerleading began in high school, where she discovered a love for teamwork, leadership, and school spirit that continues today.

As a proud mother of two daughters, Lindsey understands the importance of encouraging young people to grow in confidence and character. She is excited to work with our student-athletes, helping them develop their skills, build strong relationships, and create a positive team culture.

We are grateful for Lindsey’s enthusiasm, dedication, and love for our school community, and we look forward to an exciting season ahead!

This summer, Oakbrook Preparatory School was proudly represented by Ellie Ledbetter, Grant Jones, and Noah Edwards at Palmetto Girls State and Palmetto Boys State, two of South Carolina’s most prestigious leadership and citizenship programs.

Selected students from across the state gather for an immersive experience focused on leadership, government, public service, and civic responsibility. Through elections, legislative sessions, and collaborative leadership opportunities, participants gain valuable insight into how communities are shaped and how leaders can make a meaningful impact.

At Oakbrook, we are committed to nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—while preparing students for lives of meaningful contribution and transformative service. Opportunities like Palmetto Girls State and Palmetto Boys State encourage students to develop their unique gifts, grow in wisdom and character, and lead with integrity and purpose. These experiences help equip young men and women to make a lasting impact on their communities and the world.

We are proud of Ellie, Grant and Noah for representing Oakbrook with excellence and for embracing this opportunity to learn, lead, and serve alongside other outstanding student leaders from across South Carolina.

Congratulations!
