The first high school in Oxford was established in 1869.[3] The student body consists of about 1,200 students.[when?][citation needed] The high school was and has been racially integrated, even though prior to the late 1940s area elementary schools had been racially segregated. In 1952 OASD was created through consolidating existing school districts.[2]
Previously the school was in Oxford borough. It relocated to East Nottingham Township in 2005.[2] The previous building, heavily renovated, is now the Penn's Grove Middle School.
