[edit] Notable Alumnae

Because OCSA is a new school, with a small student body, it does not have many famous alumnae. There are a few former OSCA students who went on make a name for themselves, the most notable of which are Brian Hatch, who starred as Rum-Tiger in the revival of Cats, Sam Cochran, who managed Dennis Kucinich's unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid, and Clayton Butler, who provided the voice for the smoke monster in the hit television series LOST. Bryan Rosario, and Zackary Kohuth (both 12th graders now at the school) were on a recent episode of Fear Factor where they were challenged to eat a sandwich made of eyebrows hair. Unfortunately they were both kicked off the show after comming out about their homosexual relationship with one another.
