WHO WE BE?

Since opening its doors in 1975, Oak Park High School has been a pillar of learning, leadership, and community spirit. Renowned for its strong academic programs, dynamic arts and athletics, and unwavering focus on student well-being, Oak Park has shaped generations of learners who continue to make meaningful contributions both locally and beyond.

Over the past five decades, the school has evolved to meet the changing needs of its students while remaining rooted in its core values of inclusivity, excellence, and personal growth. The 50th Anniversary offers a meaningful opportunity to reflect on that journey, honour our shared history, and renew our commitment to empowering future generations.

This anniversary is more than a milestone, it’s a celebration of the Oak Park community. It’s a chance to bring together alumni, staff, and families from across five decades to reconnect, share memories, and celebrate how far we’ve come. As we celebrate our past, we’re also laying the foundation to ensure Oak Park’s legacy continues to thrive for the next 50 years and beyond.
