Parents Support Resources
Since its founding in 1976, parent partnership has been at the heart of the mission and philosophy of Oakcrest School. In a spirit of friendship and mutual trust, Oakcrest collaborates with parents in helping their daughters to be young women of intellect, faith, and virtue.
When the school and parents are united in this noble mission, we are best able to achieve the common goal of educating young women of character - girls who thrive at Oakcrest, in college, and beyond.
In pursuit of this mission, Oakcrest wants to offer you, parents, a hub of resources and support in the education of your daughters. Check this page for regularly updated book reviews, links of interest, parent speaker events, and more.

Book Reviews
Mary at the Foot of the Cross by Cardinal James Hickey
For centuries, the month of May has been dedicated to honoring Our Lady, whose example and intercession lead us ever closer to Jesus Christ. In this beautiful reflection on Marian devotion, readers are reminded of Mary’s final recorded words in Scripture: “Do whatever He tells you” (Jn. 2:5)—a simple invitation that lies at the heart of Christian discipleship.
Drawn from the Lenten retreat Cardinal James Hickey preached to Pope John Paul II and the papal household during the Marian Year of 1988, these meditations explore Mary’s faith, humility, obedience, freedom, and loving service to the Church. Through thoughtful and pastoral reflections, Cardinal Hickey invites readers to live as children of light, peace, and joy, redeemed by the Blood of Christ, and to renew their call to loving service and faithful witness in everyday life.
