​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, and the Basketball Pep Band, as well as the Concert and Symphonic Bands. Through these groups, she was able to travel and experience 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 originally doubted by her parents’ concerns of deficient 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 aspires to see our student body and extra-curricular opportunities increase.  She states, "In the future I would like to see Stonebridge Academy grow more and more. I would like there to be more elementary students as well as grow our online high school curriculum. This year we do not have any students taking advantage of this program, but hopefully we will be able to resurrect it for the 2020-2021 school year.  I would also like to be able to have Stonebridge join OSSAA so we can partner with Okmulgee Public Schools to give our students the ability to participate in sports."  Sarah knows through continued perseverance and dedication Stonebridge will achieve her aspirations.
