OHA’s rigorous scholastic regiment taught me the power of discipline & morality in one’s life. I’ve carried over OHA’s template for achieving goals into everything I’ve accomplished thus far. When I’m asked which institution has had the most foundational impact on my life & career, I always firmly state “OHA.” I’m eternally grateful for all of the faculty & staff and wish every child could attend this life-changing academy.

~ Nicholas Danna (OHA ’03)

Oak Hill was my starting place of being challenged to think critically and engage in a diverse mindset. There’s no one class throughout years of education, including college, that prepared me for my current profession. Instead, it was the challenge to address problems with an interdisciplinary mindset that has influenced me the most. I’ll always be grateful to OHA for helping me start this way of thinking- it has been valuable in every aspect of my life.

~Kristen Berger (OHA ’07)

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have attended OHA. I can’t deny that attending OHA set me up for life.

~Dr. Thomas Dyne (OHA ’01)
