Oakland Senior High School (also known as O-High and OHS) is a public high school in California. Established in 1869, it is the oldest high school in Oakland and the sixth oldest high school in the state.

Background

Oakland High was first located at Twelfth and Market, then Twelfth and Jefferson. It has been in its current location at the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Park Boulevard since 1928. The building that stood before its current manifestation was known as the "Pink Prison" or "Pink Palace." The stairway leading up from Park Blvd. is what remains of the exterior. The lamps in the commons are original fixtures. What is now the football field and basketball courts was once classrooms and a huge theater. The school colors are royal blue and white.

The building was torn down in 1980 to be rebuilt as a safer structure in the event of a major earthquake.

A new football/soccer/baseball field was inaugurated in the spring of 2006. The football field is officially known as Jackie Jensen Field, while the baseball/softball field is dedicated to Mike Marcoulis, Sr., longtime coach and teacher.

The current 2016-2017 principal is Matin Abdel-Qawi. Assistant principals are Ana Vasquez, John-Paul Ballou, Pamela Moy, Vonzele Reed, and Shoshanna Towers. Other administrative positions include Kaprice Wilson (Truancy Reduction), Amy Dellefield (Student Activities Director), Stephen Spinola (Athletic Director), and Rany Ath (Wellness Center Director).[2]

In the summer of 2008, renovations and rebuilding to the main building (as well in the former shop buildings) began and were completed in August 2011.

Her name is Ms. Broussard, who has gone through personal issues and set a great example for each one of O-High's VAAMPers. Ms. Broussard has taught many students about what artists truly are.

Environmental Science Academy (ESA)

The Environmental Science Academy (ESA) at Oakland High was founded by science teachers Katharine Noonan and Kevin Jordan in 1997. They designed and led the rich environmental science program until 2015.

The Environmental Science Academy is currently run by Chris Johnston (English teacher), Lara Trale (English teacher), and David White (Social Studies teacher) under the guidance of the Linked Learning Office at OUSD. ESA is known for its hands-on learning and field trips. In ESA, students are given various tools to prepare themselves for the future, such as community service, college courses, and School-to-Career. ESA students go on many excursions, including regular sophomore water quality monitoring at Lake Merritt and an annual trip to Catalina Island.

Sophomore ESA students usually have a block class consisting of Chemistry and Environmental Studies. This class goes to Lake Merritt once a week to test the water and learn more about the environment. During ESA students' senior year, they are taught AP Environmental Science.
