Honor Kris Austin's 35 Years of Service

Kris and her husband, Roger, were an integral part of the founding committee that started Ozaukee Christian School (OCS) back in 1990. OCS started with only 13 students and 3 staff members. From this humble beginning, the school has grown to over 140 students and 27 staff members! Kris’s servant heart has led her to serve in many different capacities over her 35 years at OCS regardless of her official titles as Head of School, Administrator, and Principal. She has faithfully served in roles such as teacher, secretary, janitor, coach, fundraiser organizer, lunch mom, nurse, spokesperson, ambassador, field trip driver, counselor, mentor, greeter, and prayer warrior. The school was founded on the idea that the cord of three strands - Home, Church and School - need to work together in partnership to build a strong Christian foundation in a child’s life. Under Kris’s guidance and watch, God has used OCS to make a significant impact on molding the hearts, souls, and minds of over 1,900 unique students during her tenure.

In order to bless Kris with a very special gift, the Celebration Committee is accepting monetary contributions to be pooled together. The Celebration Committee has several gift ideas, depending on the total funds contributed, to bless Kris with an actual gift in leu of cash. This gift will be presented to Kris at the celebration. If you would like to be part of this very special gift, please send your contribution no later than May 1st, 2025.
