​Her educational journey began at Oklahoma State University, where she obtained her undergraduate degree.  While attending OSU, she participated in the OSU Cowboy Marching Band, the Basketball Pep Band, and the Concert and Symphonic Bands. Through these groups, she traveled and experienced two postseason bowl games and a Sweet 16 basketball tournament.   She loved her time at OSU making friends and life-long memories.  

Sarah began her teaching career at Marian Academy Catholic School in 1993.  She spent 13 years educating first graders prior to the school closing.  After Marian, she moved to Okmulgee Primary School.  She taught for four years there, one year in Pre-K, and three years in Kindergarten.   During this time, Mrs. Alexander expanded upon her own education and received a Master of Education Degree in Reading/Literacy in 2007 through NSU-Broken Arrow.  When Stonebridge Academy opened in 2010, she was one of the first four initial teachers.  During her first year at Stonebridge, she taught a combined class of Kindergartners and First Graders.  As the years followed, she taught single grades or combination classes of First, Second, Third, and Fourth grades.

In 2018, she stepped into a new role as the Head of School at Stonebridge. It was a role she had worked hard to achieve and the experience she has as a teacher through the years helped her immensely to understand the complexities of the job. Due to the extreme teacher shortages in the area, she found herself back in the classroom while leading the school during the 2020-2021 and the 2021-2022 school years. It is also looking like she will be back in the classroom this year, as the middle school math and science teacher.

Mrs. Alexander’s career choice may have been initially doubted by her parents’ concerns about low wages and stagnant incentives.  However, once her dad witnessed her teaching, he knew she made the right choice in becoming an educator.  She has remained a devoted teacher and student. Sarah hopes by demonstrating her continued love of learning, our students will develop a desire to always strive for more knowledge.
