Student Life

Student Leadership

Bold Minds, Servant Hearts

Oakcrest students are daring. They want to make a difference. And they do—in their school, in their friendships, in their classrooms, and in communities around the world.

At Oakcrest, girls learn that leadership is not about having a title. It is about taking responsibility, stepping up when they are needed, and using their gifts for the good of others. They serve, they speak up, they take responsibility, and they make things better.

Executive Student Council

The Student Council serves as the heartbeat of our campus, bridging the Middle School and Upper School communities. Class officers and Upper School Executive Officers, elected by their peers, lead by example to cultivate an environment where every girl feels valued and empowered to contribute.

How Our Council Leads

Preserving Traditions

Honoring time-tested Oakcrest events that foster unity and school pride.

Organizing Student Experiences

Be thankful to God for putting you in the place you are, giving you the family you have, and offering you such abundant opportunities. Start seizing your dreams by writing them down and feel it in your heart and soul the potential you’ve been given by our loving and merciful God.

$4,150.00 Raised

— Sisters of Mary Chalco

Generosity is not simply about giving money; it is about giving love, with a true spirit of service. The true success of our charity efforts was not measured in dollars raised, but in the way our school came together. Through countless hours of planning, serving, and giving, we learned that even small acts of generosity can have a lasting impact.

Clubs & Activities

Extracurricular life at Oakcrest offers a rich spectrum of student-led opportunities where girls explore their passions, take initiative, and develop valuable leadership skills. Through academic competition, creative expression, and service, students are encouraged to find their unique voice and cultivate their talents outside the classroom.

Have a New Idea? Lead the Way.

Don’t see a club for a specific passion? At Oakcrest, every student is empowered to take initiative. If she has an idea, anyone can gather a few peers, pair with a faculty advisor, and launch a brand-new club to leave her mark on our campus community.
