We kicked off the year with a wonderful Homecoming Weekend! It was a pleasure to see so many of you and your families at the various events throughout the weekend.
Our Oakcrest Alumnae Association Leadership Team (OAALT), led by President Katie (McNeish '16) Hill has been hard at work organizing more fun events and networking opportunities for our alumnae community this year. Be sure to update your contact information to stay apprised of all upcoming opportunities.

Daughters of Alumnae
During our Lockers and Lemonade event the day before classes started, our 16 daughters of alumnae were surprised with a Welcome Back/ Welcome to Oakcrest treats in their lockers. We are so happy to have them follow in their mom's footsteps and join the Oakcrest family.

Thank you for joining us for this year's Homecoming Alumnae Parent Reception! We loved having you with us for the evening and we hope you enjoyed reconnecting with other fellow alumnae parents. As an alumnae parent you are the beneficiary of Oakcrest's mission and know first-hand the impact our education and formation has had on the life of your daughter. But Oakcrest continues to be the beneficiary of your prayers and encouragement as we form more and more young women. As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2026 we hope to see more of you on campus as we celebrate your legacy and look forward to an exciting future.
We hope to see you at future Oakcrest events or feel free to stop in for daily Mass if you are in the area.
