History

Oakmont opened in September, 1965.^[4]

In 2014, fourteen players were suspended from the football team for drug usage.^[5][6]

In 2021, hundreds of students were forced to quarantine due to COVID-19 after five students tested positive.^[7]

In 2014, one of two hazing incidents that targeted an African-American student resulted in the thirteen students being charged with hate crimes. At the time, Oakmont was largely white, with only 3 percent of the schools population being black.^[8] In 2022 another racist incident occurred in which two separate white students, spurred on by nationwide protests involving the treatment of George Floyd, spread videos with offensive content toward black students.^[9]
