Oldenburg Academy Board Members
Brad Dickey
Brad is the Senior Account Executive for Eli Lilly's Animal Science division. He is the father of OA students Claire '14 and Ian '18.
"As a parent of a current Twister, I have witnessed first-hand the incredible sense of community that a child experiences at OA. My child has grown spiritually and academically as a direct result of the leadership and guidance of the OA staff. The value of an OA education is truly seen in the unlimited experiences that a child can gain. I am proud to offer my support to such a well established and respected Catholic educational institution."
Sr. Mary Beth Gianoli, OSF
Sr. Mary Beth is a member of the Leadership Team for the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg.
"I spent 19 years in Catholic school classrooms - 16 years as a student and 3 years as a high school teacher. I realize the importance of a good Catholic education and am glad that I can support Oldenburg Academy as a member of the Board of Trustees."
Deb Grieshop
Deb is the Director of Sales Operations for the Morel Company, located in Batesville, IN. She is mother to OA students Megan ‘’09, Bailey ’12, Margaret (Mara) ’15 and if all goes as planned Jon ’21.
"My connections to OA run deep and wide. My children, mother, sister, and mother-in-law along with various aunts, cousins, and now nieces and nephews have all had the opportunity to experience OA either in the past or present day. I first started my career with a private secondary education that was very expensive, and I would help parents understand the cost and figure out how they were going to afford this next step in their child’s life. As they struggled to make the decision, the best words and guidance I could offer them was “There is no greater investment than the education of your child.” I used that phrase on a daily basis and I believe it to my core. I am on the Oldenburg Academy board because I have seen how the investment has paid off and want to see it continue and grow for generations to come."
Tom Horninger
Tom is an executive for FCN Bank and serves as the Board Treasurer. He is married to Mary, a 1979 OA Alumni, and has 4 children that are OA Alumni.

Bob Hurm
Bob is an anesthesiologist at Margaret Mary Health in Batesville, IN. He is father to OA students Matthew '15, Nathan '17 and Hanna '19.

an individual."
Sr. Diane Jamison, OSF
