Oxnard High School, or OHS as it is commonly referred to, is a public four-year high school serving grades 9-12 in Oxnard, California, United States. Oxnard High School serves the Southwest, Northwest and Beach communities of Oxnard and a northern portion of Port Hueneme.[1]
The school is the oldest in the Oxnard Union High School District, and is the oldest public high school in all of Ventura County. The school was founded in 1901 and was originally built in downtown Oxnard, but it sat directly under the flightpath of Oxnard Airport, so the school relocated in 1995 to new facilities in Northwest Oxnard, in the River Ridge district.
