Ray Leftridge thanks God daily for the opportunity to work at Oakwood Adventist Academy as the Computer Technology teacher for grades 5-High School. A graduate of Oakwood College (Oakwood University), he has taught in both private and public school for over fifteen years. With a background in communications, he has a passion to help students learn computer technology, develop digital literacy, and establish 21st-century skills needed for educational and career development.

He is married to Veronica Leftridge and has three adult children and three grandchildren who currently attend OAA.  His philosophy of Christian Education is very simple and is aligned with the mission of OAA which is to develop, nurture and affirm young people and lead them to a closer walk with Christ with the desire to have them ultimately saved in His Kingdom.
