History
OHS opened in 1972 along with its sister school Riverdale High School. These schools have the oldest rivalry in the county, as they were the first 2 schools built after Central High School and were highly competitive in football and basketball. Oakland's current biggest rival is Riverdale High School followed by Siegel High School. The school's principal, Bill Spurlock, was assigned the role Director of Schools near the ending of June 2018 and has since been replaced by John Marshall as of August 2018.[4]
