For our first podcast of 2025, we launch a new four-part miniseries entitled "Our Second Century" in celebration of our centennial. Over the next four podcasts, we will talk to coaches, student leaders, administrative leaders, and members of our religion and campus ministry team about precious Oak Knoll tenets and how we carry those across the threshold into our next century as a school. We begin with members of our coaching staff. (6:32 mins)

As the summer draws to a close and we enter the 2024-25 school year, Oak Knoll steps through a momentous threshold. We enter our 100th year as a Catholic educational institution indelibly connected to the Society of the Holy Child Jesus and the visionary pedagogical dreams of Cornelia Connelly. Delayed somewhat by the pandemic but kicking into full gear almost a year and a half ago, a centennial committee has been hard at work collaborating to ensure the coming school year is filled with fun events, a rich understanding of our history, and an exciting look ahead at the schools' next century.
