We are so thankful for God's faithfulness to our school for bringing us such amazing people to fill our staffing needs for the 2024-2025 school year at Oskaloosa Christian. We heartily welcome the following people to our school community:
Mrs. Tracy Klucas, Director of Learning and Advancement

Tracy Klucas
We are delighted to announce Mrs. Tracy Klucas as the new Director of Learning and Advancement. In order to meet the strategic objectives of our growing and changing school, we are proud to be adding such an asset to the administrative team at OSCI (Oskaloosa School for Christian Education). After serving as a teacher at OSCI for 23 years, Tracy has grown in her role and influence in our school and we're excited to see how she will expand that in the years to come from an administrative perspective.
Tracy and her husband, Kevin, have three adult children who are all graduates of Oskaloosa Christian School: Katelyn (Graham), Emileigh (Kalen), and Brad. They enjoy spending time with family, especially their four grandchildren. Tracy and Kevin also enjoy riding bicycles, trying new restaurants with friends, and traveling to new places. Tracy and Kevin are members of Gateway Church of the Nazarene.
Tracy believes strongly in the mission of Oskaloosa Christian School, and she expressed she is "looking forward to assisting the administration in providing leadership that supports both students and teachers while promoting our amazing school to the community". Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Klucas back to the Oskaloosa Christian team for the 2024-2025 school year.
Cathy Fay
We are delighted to announce Mrs. Cathy Fay as the new Kinder Kids Teacher Aide. Cathy has been a long-time supporter and trusted volunteer with our school. She has also spent many hours in the classrooms of her children assisting teachers through the years. She and her husband Sam have been married for 28 years and live in Oskaloosa. During that time their three children Laura, Amanda, and Ian have all been educated at Oskaloosa Christian and graduated. They are members of Fellowship Bible Church and have enjoyed growing in the Lord there. She and her family enjoy riding bikes, camping as a family, and taking walks when the weather is nice.
Cathy said that after their youngest child, Ian, graduated last year she "missed volunteering at the school and am now excited to join the OSCI team working with Mrs. Grafke and the Kinder Kids". Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Fay to the Oskaloosa Christian team for the 2024-2025 school year.
Cassi Fitzpatrick
We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Cassi Fitzpatrick as the new Art Teacher and Librarian. Cassi taught 4th grade at OSCI from 2018 - 2020 before taking time away to stay at home with her growing family. Cassi is married to Trevor, and they have three children: Theo, Tully, and Elli. Their kids love Thomas the Train and reading books. Their oldest, Theo, will be attending SONshine preschool starting in the fall. Cassi and Trevor are lifelong residents of Oskaloosa and they currently attend The Bridge Church as a family.
Cassi shared, "I am excited to get the opportunity to teach about God in such unique ways and throughout all the grade levels at OSCI. I am most excited about teaching Art. That’s been a dream of mine since I was in 3rd grade. I am also looking forward to continuing to foster the joy of reading in everyone as well". Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Fitzpatrick to the Oskaloosa Christian team for the 2024-2025 school year.
