Oakland Catholic High School strives to achieve academic excellence with all of their students. Class sizes are considered manageable and as a result, it is very easy for students to connect with their teachers on a more personal level, simply adding to their education. Faculty members make it their duty to interact with their students, thus enabling the students to not only learn from their teachers, but for their teachers to learn from their students.
