Tuesday, December 3 from 8:00 to 9:30 am.
Enjoy coffee and conversation with our faculty and staff, and stay for Mass at 9:55 AM to experience the heart of our faith-centered community.
My Oakcrest experience was the single most important decision my parents ever made. It formed me more than anything else. It has shaped my future more than I can describe, it has given me mentors to help counsel me through difficult times, it has given me the tools to tackle any challenge, and it has given me the people that I want to go through life with on a daily basis. I could not be more grateful.

Oakcrest is a unique place, that truly nurtures a girl, helping her to develop into a well-rounded, thoughtful person. Someone who strives to reach her potential in the vocation she has chosen, whether that be doctor, scientist, CEO or mother, while being compassionate and generous in her pursuit of excellence. The longest and truest friendships I have made have been at Oakcrest. There I was able to grow as a whole person alongside people who had similar values and goals; together we grew in character and skill as we pursued new and different interests and talents.

At the end of the Oakcrest journey, a girl leaves empowered to make a difference in the world around her and to continue discovering who she is and how she can best fulfill her vocation, which is truly the quest of a lifetime.
