History

Oakdale was founded in 1921 by Elizabeth E O'Connor in a one-room elementary school for local children. [3] It was originally called Oakdale Vocational School, and served needy children. [4] It was later renamed Oakdale Christian High School. [5]

In 1968, the Free Methodist Church of North America gave the governance and authority of Oakdale Christian High School to an independent board of trustees. [3] This occurred as the Free Methodist Church's priorities shifted from domestic to foreign missions. [6]

Oakdale is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). [7] [8] [9]
