Alumni

Whether you graduated from our High School or attended Oakwood for only a few years, you are important to us and will always be considered part of the Oakwood Alumni community!

Oakwood Alumni provide a vital link to our school’s history and are a reminder of our dedication to educating the whole child and creating a love of learning in each student. We hope that you will take one of these opportunities to get involved at Oakwood and to demonstrate your connection to our school:

Welcome from the Alumni Office

Greetings, Oakwood Alumni!

While I have been in my role as Director of Development & Alumni Relations since early 2018, you may not have met me yet! Before I landed at Oakwood, I spent several years working with alumni at Stanford University and other independent schools in the Bay Area. An alumni association not only serves as a social binding agent to link commonalities from your memories of Oakwood, but to create a living network that will not only be advantageous to you as you grow in your career, but to those who have come after you. Witnessing the joy of classmates coming together in celebration at a reunion or networking to help form new connections—is truly something special and makes my role one that I treasure.

In the past seven years, I have strived to enhance the wonderful community of alumni with new opportunities to engage with your fellow Oakwood grads as well as our current students. The Oakwood community is a special one—you have so many individuals invested in your past, present, and future! We cannot wait to see the many things you will accomplish both professionally and personally in your time after Oakwood.

It is our hope that the Alumni Association will be a welcomed resource for you. If you join our Linked In page, you'll see many current and former parents, faculty, staff, and alumni just waiting to network with you. Your Oakwood experience is invaluable to our students and we hope that we can help bridge the connection between past, present, and future for our community!

We look forward to your participation in the Alumni Association through campus visits, volunteerism, reunion gatherings, and more!

"Oakwood is such a special place and had a huge impact on my life, so it is important to me to continue engaging in the Oakwood community even though it’s been over 10 years since my high school graduation. I graduated from Notre Dame Law School this past May, took the bar exam in July, and recently began my career as an Assistant District Attorney at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in New York City."
