Jerry & Jackie Roell

Jerry and Jackie’s commitment to the Academy and to athletics inspired them to help create an organization that would support both; OASIS (Oldenburg Academy Students In Sports) was born.  Initially, they raised money for a school bus to transport students to games.  This group would go on to provide the vision and needed consistent financial support to ensure that the athletic program had the uniforms, entrance fees, equipment, and transportation necessary to excel in the competitive field of high school athletics.  That legacy continues today and the Academy will be forever grateful.
In Jerry’s first year of retirement, he came to OA to coach the boys freshman basketball team  which he did for the next two years.
Jerry was a beloved coach to all his students at St. Louis and Oldenburg Academy.
Jerry and Jackie truly loved watching their children attend Oldenburg and participating the many sports offered.
