Celebrating His Faithfulness

2024-2025 Year in Review


Equipping Disciples


As we strive to equip disciples through exemplary education, our goal is for each student to integrate their faith and skills to pursue, persist, and promote Christ in their vocation. This mission is why, as partners with families and the local church, we infuse our teaching with a biblical worldview — resulting in over 200,000 hours of Bible instruction every school year.

Redeeming Culture

We began the school year with a record-breaking enrollment of 811 students — the highest in our 48-year history. This milestone reflects the strong partnerships we’ve built with Christian families across the region, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside them for years to come. Our students and families experience the life-changing impact of a Christ-centered education, with more opportunities to grow, thrive, and belong within our vibrant school community.

Developing gifts


Our mission-driven team is dedicated to developing the whole student—spiritually, academically, athletically, artistically, and through service. We are passionate about partnering with families and local churches to love, serve, and equip students for whatever lies ahead.

As followers of Christ, our faculty is deeply invested in students’ spiritual growth, creating meaningful opportunities for them to explore and use their unique, God-given gifts to glorify Him. For the students who have not yet trusted in Christ, we prayerfully encourage them to receive the gift of salvation through Jesus.

"God Uniquely Gifts Every Student"

From fine arts to dramatic productions, our students positively impact our culture for Christ through their artistic abilities. Our band continues to succeed in their competitions and march in various events. Our drama department staged "Sleeping Beauty", the second musical production held in our Auditorium. Our Patriot athletes celebrated a year of athletic excellence across 15 high school sports, nine middle school teams, and over a dozen youth programs. 7th Grade student,  David Krauss, won the Middle School Cross Country Championship, Sophomore Trevor Taylor (Cross Country) and Senior Gabby Riba (bowling) earned recognition as state qualifiers, as well as our women's bowling team being the first ODCS team in 22 years to advance to the State Championship in any sport!

As our student body has grown, so has our need to expand our campus. Your contributions of time, talent, treasure, and trust have enabled numerous improvements in our property, classrooms, and athletic facilities. Safety upgrades like a new roof being installed over the Powerzone, Crossroads, and pastoral office space, additional doors were secured and electronically fobbed for staff and student access, additional cameras were added on the Elementary side of campus along with new coverage of the athletic fields, additional lighting was added to the Auditorium to enhance the space for concerts, plays/musicals, and other special events bring excitement for our future.
