History
Oakdale was founded in 1921 by Elizabeth E O'Connor in a one-room elementary school for local children.[2] It was originally called Oakdale Vocational School, and served needy children.[3] It was later renamed Oakdale Christian High School.[4]
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.[2] This occurred as the Free Methodist Church's priorities shifted from domestic to foreign missions.[5]
Oakdale is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).[6][7][8]
