Sarah Alexander
Head of School

  “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is
   just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would
   be less because of that missing drop.”
                                                   ~ Mother Teresa

​Mrs. Alexander’s heart is clearly focused on the quality of education Stonebridge delivers to our students.  She firmly believes education is a fundamental pillar to the growth of our community and the empowerment of our children.  Sarah credits an educational system that emphasizes the importance of fostering a family-like community, delivering challenging and rigorous academics, and demonstrating integrity is key to the academic and personal development of our students.  She is honored to be entrusted with the responsibilities and challenges that walk hand in hand with the learning and development of our students.  Mrs. Alexander states, "I am proud to lead Stonebridge Academy and I look forward to coming to work every day."  She is committed to the success of Stonebridge and promises to be an active participant in the classrooms; as well as, a strong, inspirational leader for her faculty and staff.

​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, 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.   

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.  In February 2019, she received her Post Master’s Certificate in Educational Leadership from Northcentral University.  Sarah hopes by demonstrating her continued love of learning, our students will develop a desire to always strive for more knowledge.

Mrs. Alexander faced the challenges of Covid-19 head-on during the summer of 2020 by establishing a Summer Institute to "bridge the gap" that some students may have been facing after the school's shut down in March of 2020. When finding a teacher for the Middle Grades English and Social Studies position proved difficult, she stepped into the last-minute role and has proven herself to be an effective and dynamic teacher for the 4th-8th grade students in that role. "It's not what I had planned to do this year, but I told everyone that flexibility had to be our keyword for the year, so here I am!" stated Alexander.
