Oceana High School opened in 1962.
The school is a member of the Coalition of Essential Schools.
The school was designed by architect Mario J. Ciampi to conform to the hillside[2] at the base of Milagra Ridge.
A 2002 modernization included a seismic upgrade, ocean facing classroom windows and a 350-seat theatre.[3]
The Schedule at Oceana is a form of what is called a "block scheduling." This means that every student has, in total, 6 class periods, and that the student only has 3 periods per day. So, on one day, students have an "odd" day, periods 1, 3, and 5. The next day would be an "even" day, periods 2, 4, and 6. For example, if a student had mathematics as period number 2, they would only have that class every other day, on "even" days.
The Curriculum at Oceana is generally project based. The class periods are 100 minutes each, so this gives the students time to work on projects, especially for English and History.
