History
While the building was built in 1931, Oakdale Middle School only opened in 2023. The school opened in part of a greater initiative across all schools in the Medford School District to move sixth grade from elementary school to middle school.[4]
The campus was first built in 1931 as Medford High School, but later became South Medford High School after the opening of North Medford High School. After a new building was constructed for SMHS, the former building became an alternative school called Central Medford High School, which was ultimately moved in 2020 and shut down.
After major renovations to improve safety and learning experience, the middle school opened in 2023 to reduce overcrowding at the other two middle schools in the district. It held a grand opening ceremony in September to welcome all new families, as it had taken students from both Hedrick Middle School and McLoughlin Middle School.[5]
In 2024, the school introduced a veteran memorial area.[6]
