Meet Larry Beeble, OCA’s Manager of Counseling Services

  • Masters of Arts in College Student Personnel, Concentration in School Counseling
  • With OCA since 2008
  • 35+ years  of elementary, middle, high school and college counseling experience

Larry’s broad range of counseling experience has provided him with a, “big picture view” of the different educational paths students can take on their way to being successful and productive young adults.

 

“As the Manager of Counseling Services at OCA, I am committed to helping our students and parents have a positive and meaningful educational experience at all levels in our school. And since graduating from high school is the first time in a student’s educational life that there is not an automatic educational step waiting for them, I feel a responsibility to help them find their next step whether that is an educational one or something else.”
