Oldenburg Academy Board Members
Brad Dickey
Brad 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. Jeri Fuhrmann, OSF ’67
Sr. Jeri is Director of Liturgical Music Sisters of Notre Dame.
Deb Grieshop '84
Deb is the Director of Sales Operations for the Morel Company, located in Batesville, IN and serves as the Board Treasurer. She is mother to OA students Megan ‘09, Bailey ’12, Margaret (Mara) ’15 and 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."
Angie Kuntz Harmeyer ’86

Tom Horninger

Bob Hurm

"I received my education through Catholic schools (specifically the Franciscan System) and am a strong proponent of the foundation this education provides for the well being of a child.

an individual."

OA has been an outstanding Catholic High School for 162 years and is committed to academic excellence, social responsibility, leadership and personal growth for its students. I want to be an advocate for the school to keep this rich legacy alive and to promote the values of St. Francis and OA's Patroness, The Blessed Mother. I'm honored to be a part of helping to lead the school in it's mission.
Sr. Barbara Piller OSF
I taught at the Academy in 1961-63 as a Novice of the Sisters of St. Francis. Serving on the Board from 1994-2000 allowed me to be part of the transition to a co-educational institution and the change of name from Immaculate Conception Academy to Oldenburg Academy of the Immaculate Conception.
