This year's ornament celebrates Holland Hall, founded in 1922. Located on 162 acres in South Tulsa, it is the oldest independent college preparatory school in Oklahoma with a deep respect for academic, artistic & athletic excellence.
The back piece (top right) shows the original brick building, having only nine classrooms. Below it, you see The Walter Arts Center, with a large theater and art gallery, offering studies in painting, ceramics, photography, dance, voice and orchestra.
At top left are the primary school buildings and below, the middle school classrooms. Across the bottom, you see the Tandy Dining and Wellness Center (for Mid/High school), a modern workout facility for a large variety of sports.
The front piece has the Holland Hall Logo and a representation of students 12th Grade to Pre-K.
Tulsa Ornaments make great souvenirs! My husband and I always buy an ornament when traveling to help us remember where we've been. It's so much fun to reminisce when decorating the tree each year and remember all the places that we've visited and the people we've met. They also make great gifts for your out of town visitors. We have ornaments with several of the major Tulsa landmarks and you can pair them with my landmark art (I carry small 4x4 framed prints) that are perfect gifts to give your visitor to help them remember their visit with you in Tulsa.
