The OCS Staff vs. Seniors tournament was an enjoyable event that attracted the participation of the entire school. A wonderful time was had by all! Thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this event possible for our staff and students.

Origin Bank recently had the pleasure of hosting a pizza party for the 7th grade class of Ouachita Christian School in recognition of their remarkable contribution of shoeboxes to Samaritan's Purse during the Christmas season. We would like to express our gratitude to Lisa Ivey Wooten for her leadership in organizing this meaningful project for the school annually.

Twenty- four OCS seniors qualified for the 2025 Ouachita Scholars' Banquet were invited to gather at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo for a celebratory event. These students were formally honored during the annual banquet on Monday, April 14th. To qualify for this recognition, students were required to maintain a minimum unweighted GPA of 3.5 and achieve an ACT composite score of at least 25. OCS is honored to have 42% of our graduating class qualify for the Ouachita Scholars' Banquet!

Mrs. Michele's class wore red and raised money today in honor of the Amelia Spires Heart Project! Amelia Spires is a Kindergartener in Mrs Palowsky's class this year. Amelia was born with a rare genetic mutation, which caused her to be born with multiple heart defects, some so severe that she was worked up for a heart transplant in 2019. However, God's amazing grace and a clinical trial medication out of Canada allowed Amelia to escape heart transplant and now grow into the thriving kindergartener she is today. The Amelia Spires Heart Project is a nonprofit organization that her family created to raise money for the pediatric families of Louisiana and the Gulf South region who have had to relocate to the New Orleans area to await a heart transplant and other major cardiac surgeries.

OCS recently hosted its first annual Career Week, which proved to be an outstanding event! Throughout the week, our high school students had the opportunity to receive valuable insights from OCS alumni who have achieved success in their respective fields. Thanks so much to our alumni who participated and all who helped make this event such a success!
