OPPS Founders: Mr. Peter and Mrs. Patty Mills

"We started OPPS because we saw the need for a place where children could grow and learn using a hands-on approach. We wanted students to enjoy going to school and to remember what they learn. We believe small classes make all the difference. With this structure, school is more of a family environment, where students feel comfortable and open to ask questions. By asking questions, they are truly understanding what they learn.

"Our goal is that students at OPPS take pride in everything they do and make a difference in the world. To us, making a difference means doing the little things that no one ever knows you do. We want all students to be happy with who they are without the need of recognition from others to make them feel complete." Peter and Patty have two children and have been married for 31 years. They are two of the owners of Premier Sportsplex, which serves our community through sports and fitness. In addition, Peter serves as President and Director of OK Premier Volleyball. Patty serves as Secretary and Club Administrator of OK Premier Volleyball and one of the founders of Camp 925. Both play critical roles in growing many programs in our community!
OPPS Founders: Mr. Wes and Mrs. Brandy White

"Our inspiration for starting OPPS was to provide a learning environment where students benefit from hands-on teaching in a small-class setting. By doing away with busywork and truly focusing on the concepts, teachers can care for each child as their own, ensuring no one falls through the cracks and all students maximize their potential.
Our hope for the OPPS is that in addition to becoming fully educated at the highest level and ready to take their next steps academically, our students also understand there is so much more to being an adult than just a passing grade. |
We want students to leave knowing their worth, recognizing others around them, understanding respect, valuing hard work and having developed a plan for where they are headed next." Wes and Brandy homeschooled their four children before starting the OPPS. They are also two of the owners of Premier Sportsplex, which serves our community in multiple ways through sports and fitness. Brandy was one of the founders and directors of Camp 925 and Focus 27. She served as the Community Center Director at CrossPointe Church and is the Vice President and Coaching Director of OK Premier Volleyball. Wes and Brandy are truly passionate about making a difference in the community!
