Staff and Faculty

Oak Hill is fortunate to have a dedicated and enthusiastic staff. We are proud of the tenure and retention rate of our staff at all levels, which adds continuity and a rich heritage to our school community. All lead teachers in our classrooms have earned not only their AMI certification but a Bachelor's degree as well. Many have gone on to earn higher degrees in a variety of fields and all model Montessori's ideal of "life-long learners."
