2025 ReunionHonor Year Photos
This October, Ozark Adventist Academy was blessed to welcome alumni back to campus for our annual Alumni Reunion Weekend. Each year we honor milestone graduating classes, and it’s always special to see who is able to return—whether it’s a group of familiar faces or a single alum representing their year with a smile.
Thank you to everyone who made the trip to reconnect, reminisce, and share stories of how Ozark has shaped your life. Your presence helps keep the OAA family strong.
Here are a few photos of this year’s honored classes. We’re grateful for each person who joined us, and we look forward to welcoming even more alumni home next year!

Student Scholarships
More than half of Ozark Adventist Academy's students receive financial aid, which is awarded based on financial need. It may support a student from a large family, one whose parent is unemployed, or a student with strong potential whose family cannot cover the full cost of tuition. For many, these scholarships make attending Ozark possible.
Educational Center Renovation
Our $1.5M Educational Center renovation campaign will provide a refreshed environment for academic excellence from the music department to the library. Paint, ceiling tiles, carpet, lighting, classroom furniture and technology are included in the renovation plan. The work has already begun and changes are being seen throughout the building.
Impact 150
With 150 contributors each giving $100 per month for ten months, the total contribution would be $150,000. This amount would go for discretionary and unexpected needs throughout the 2025-2026 school year. It's an effective way to ensure the school has the flexibility to address various challenges and opportunities as they arise and provide the best environment for OAA students.
Graduate Testimonials
Kevin BurtonClass of 2003"Ozark Adventist Academy played a formational role in my spiritual development. Most notably, it was at Ozark, during my senior year, that I started my lifelong tradition of daily devotions."
Paul Cox Class of 1994"Looking back, what seperated Ozark from other school experiences was the dedication and care that the teachers showed the students. Mr. Charles Barber, Mrs. June Melton, and Mr. George Fisher to name a few..."
Gina Pusateri Webb Class of 1984"OAA literally changed my way in every way possible. I developed the best friendships of my life there... [and] most importantly, I grew to know and love Jesus in ways that have guided me my whole life."
