“I love working at OC because it gives me the opportunity to share and teach my favorite subject to an amazing student body. I have always said that I will retire and move on from teaching when I stop having fun in the classroom...10 years later, it's still fun!”

Dr. Theresa Doerfler, English Teacher

Our students come from many different places and perspectives, and in the time that they spend here together, they can learn how to collaborate and communicate effectively with one another - and then take those skills into a world that needs them.”

Heather Day, Latin Teacher
