Amanda Biser is a proud Oak Hills alumna and a dedicated leader within the Highlander athletic community. A 1997 graduate of Oak Hills High School, Amanda was a Matscot and Oakette during her time as a student—roles that helped shape her passion for student leadership and team spirit. That passion has come full circle over the years, as she now enters her 16th year coaching the Oak Hills Matscots, continuing a long-standing family legacy deeply rooted in the district.
Amanda’s coaching journey spans more than 20 years, with additional experience coaching the Wrestlerettes at Colerain High School for six years and serving as a Statisticians coach at Harrison High School for two. Her leadership and dedication have helped shape one of the most respected spirit programs in the region. Under her guidance, the Oak Hills Matscots have been named the SWOWCA Outstanding Wrestlerette Squad of the Year an impressive ten times—a clear reflection of her commitment to excellence and pride in her program.
Her ties to Oak Hills run deep. Amanda's father, the late Dick Roche, served as the head wrestling coach at Oak Hills for 26 years. Her mother, Pat Roche, was her Matscot coach for three years. Even her brother, Matthew, left his mark on Oak Hills athletics as the first freshman wrestler in school history to qualify for the OHSAA State Wrestling Tournament. Amanda also grew up in the Oak Hills community, attending both C.O. Harrison Elementary and Delhi Middle School. Her parents served in the district for over three decades, making the Biser family's contributions to Oak Hills both longstanding and significant.
Beyond the gym, Amanda is an accomplished educator. She holds a B.A. in English Secondary Education from Eastern Kentucky University, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and danced with the university’s Dancing Colonels. She later earned her M.A. in Literacy from the University of Cincinnati and is currently pursuing her +30 certification through the Ohio Writing Project at Miami University.
Amanda lives in Harrison, Ohio, with her husband Dan, and their two daughters, Madison (12) and Brooklyn (almost 8). She is not only a coach and educator but also a former youth cheerleading coach, further reflecting her passion for building confidence and character in young people. Her deep roots, infectious energy, and unwavering commitment continue to elevate Oak Hills Athletics year after year.
