Middle school years are critical years for a student. It’s a time of tremendous change and growth, as students discover more about themselves and their gifts. At Oak Grove Middle School we offer opportunities to grow and discover through rigorous academics, faith ex-periences and service opportunities, all while being supported by caring adults. In addition, students have many extra-curricular activities and clubs to choose from. We are proud of the environment created especially for them. Our Oak Grove Middle School is more than a school, it’s a family. – Nancy Weber, Principal, Oak Grove Middle School

My goal, and that of my staff, is to lead the investment in people and programs, and insure that each day every student is immersed in rigorous academics, engulfed in faith development, and afforded service leadership opportunities. Our expectations are high, and we challenge our students to make a difference on campus, in their communities, and around the world. – Darrin Roach, Principal, Oak Grove High School

At Oak Grove Elementary School, we live out our motto to learn well, be loving Christians, and serve others. Our teachers strive to provide our students with an excellent academic experience, but more than that, we take pride in helping our students gain an understand-ing in what it means to live out our faith. Oak Grove Elementary provides a community environment that nurtures a child through the most formative years of their life. – Josh Kading, Principal, Oak Grove Elementary School

Nancy Weber - Middle School Principal, Darrin Roach - High School Principal, Josh Kading - Elementary School Principal

Learning begins early and the Early Learning Center helps the process right from the start with programs for 3, 4 and 5 years old. The Oak Grove Early Learning Center is designed to provide developmentally appropriate activities for each child. We understand young children learn best in an active environ-ment that is planned to match their level of development. Children are active learners, not sitters; therefore, we provide a learning environment conducive for active learning. This is a safe and loving Christian environment for children that addresses areas of growth and development spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically. – Mona Lybeck, Director, Early Learning Center at Oak Grove Lutheran School.
