Our Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Hippert, and our 8th Grade teacher, Mrs. Gorski, have both completed their final year of teaching and are both excited to begin their retirement years resting and relaxing and doing all the things they love to do. I am very happy for both and wish them the best of luck in the many happy years they have ahead of them! And weren’t we lucky here at OLA to have their expertise and dedication for so many years! Thank you Mrs. Hippert and Mrs. Gorski!!

I am pleased to welcome Ms. Heather Miller as our new Kindergarten teacher. Ms. Miller will work with Ms. Richard to continue the excellent preparation our little ones can expect so that they will be successful throughout their OLA educational career. Ms. Miller comes to us with Catholic School experience as she taught at Venerini Academy in Worcester. It is a pleasure to welcome her to our faculty and I am looking forward to an exciting year!

I am also pleased to welcome Mr. Chris Barrett as our new 8th Grade homeroom teacher. Mr. Barrett, who also comes to us from Venerini Academy, brings an enthusiasm for learning that is contagious! Our Jr. High students can expect to be wowed by Literature and I am also looking forward to an exciting year for them as I welcome Mr. Barrett to our team.
