OMA ANNOUNCES 2022 AP SCHOLARS
OMA Announces 2022 STAR Student, Emily Richardson
Oak Mountain Academy is proud to announce its 2023 STAR Student, senior Emily Richardson. In addition, Mr. Ben Pullin was selected, by Emily, as her 2023 STAR Teacher. She was also recently selected as a STAR Student system wide winner for Carroll County.
Sponsored locally by the Carroll County Chamber and statewide by the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE), a STAR student is selected based on criteria set by the Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition Program. The student must have the highest score on any single test date of the Scholastic Aptitude Test taken through the November test date of their senior year and be in the top10% of their class.
Mr. Pullin, a four-time recipient of the STAR Teacher award, has had the honor and privilege of teaching Emily throughout her high school career. “Emily’s outstanding writing ability and work ethic sets her apart from other students. However, what is most impressive to me is how academically well rounded she is. Emily achieves as much success in math and science as she does in social studies and literature. She is without a doubt one of the best students I have taught in that regard,” Pullin stated. “Since taking my first class with Mr. Pullin, in 7th grade, he has taught me many skills that I will not only use academically, but in life. He has consistently made learning fun, interesting, and valuable. I am honored to share this distinction with him,” said Richardson.
Founded in 1962, Oak Mountain Academy now serves approximately 200 students enrolled in PreK-3 through 12th grade. Oak Mountain Academy is an innovative school of academic excellence where students receive a personalized, faith-based, college-preparatory education on a vibrant campus that offers dynamic opportunities, empowering them to become leaders committed to living lives of service and integrity.

OMA’s Sensational Seven (Class of ‘22) Excel on the Court and in the Classroom
Oak Mountain Academy’s 2020 girls’ volleyball team had one of their best seasons finishing with a record of 25-3, to include an undefeated record in their region, winning the region championship, and a trip to the GISA state playoffs, where a championship was secured. What makes these Warriors truly unique is their successes both on the court and in the classroom.
The Warrior’s Sensational Seven, all Juniors (’22) on this year’s roster, were critical to the team’s success, especially since there were not any Seniors on the court leading the charge. Oak Mountain Academy coach Britney Mount relied on (photo L-R) Sophia Newell, Abbey Penley, Anjuli Vavrik, Raegan Wynn, Kenzie Reid, Jenna Guy, and Hollis Engel. These juniors led the team on the court while also setting the tone in the locker room inspiring the younger players with their hard work.
Five of this season’s teammates, Engel, Charlotte Milanese (’23), Newell, Reid, and Wynn, were recently recognized as All-Region AND All-State players by GISA (Georgia Independent School Association) coaches across the state. It is unprecedented to have FIVE student-athletes chosen for this honor at the Region level, much less the Region and the State level too. On the court, these ladies are a true powerhouse! Coach Mount states, “Having FIVE of my players honored as All-Region AND All-State athletes is unbelievable and unheard-of. They all worked so hard for our team and for this recognition. I am extremely proud of their hard work and commitment!”
In addition to these five student athletes being honored, Coach Britney Mount was also named the GISA Coach of the Year. Oak Mountain Academy Athletic Director Terrell Barkley states, “Coach Mount has an energy that her players take on when they are on the court. She not only is a great coach, but she truly pours energy into her athletes and this year it was evident on and off the court. We are so blessed to have Coach Mount on The Mountain and proud of her for winning coach of the year.” Coach Mount attributes her success to not only to the hard work and talent of the players, but also to her incredible assistant Coach Brett Wynn for his dedication and insights both on and off the court, “we definitely could not have done this without him,” states Mount.
In addition to being a powerhouse on the court, these seven Juniors also excel in the classroom. Currently, these Sensational Seven have a collective average GPA of 4.05. This GPA is even more extraordinary considering the academic challenge of their schedules to include Advanced Placement courses. AP courses are Oak Mountain Academy’s most difficult classes where students can earn college credit by passing a college-level AP exam. The seven juniors are currently taking a total of twenty-two AP classes! Each student will be required to take the state AP exam at the end of the school year for possible college credit. Each of these Sensational Seven plans to continue this rigor in their Senior year with more AP classes included in their schedules.
Jenna Guy, Oak Mountain Academy’s Middle Blocker states, “I’ve found that by balancing my athletics with my studies, I’m a more well-rounded and happier person. I utilize study halls, travel time, and weekends to stay ahead in all my classes. Being a student athlete is challenging, but very rewarding and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Founded in 1962, Oak Mountain Academy now has more than 200 students enrolled in grades PreK 3 through 12th grades. Oak Mountain Academy is an innovative school of academic excellence where students receive a personalized, faith-based, college-preparatory education on a vibrant campus that offers dynamic opportunities, empowering them to become leaders committed to living lives of service and integrity.

Parents!
This year, we are introducing a new major fundraiser - the 2018 OMA Warrior Boosterthon Fun Run! It’s a 9-day program coordinated by Boosterthon that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Tuesday, January 9, 2018. Families will then gather pledges for every lap their student(s) runs (30 – 35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on Friday, January 19, 2018. With our big goal of raising $20,000 for Oak Mountain Academy’s annual operating costs and program resources for the development of an OMA STEM and STEAM program, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easier, and fun.
