Patriot Athletics Golf Outing
The annual Patriot Athletics Golf Outing—held each June—elevates the extracurricular athletic experience at ODCS by upgrading equipment and funding other special projects. A Christian education must be exemplary in all facets and therefore our athletes should be well-equipped, well conditioned, superbly coached, and whole heartedly supported to represent Christ on the field as well as off it.
