Susan Renteria Diaz knew the recruiter couldn’t make the kind of promises she wanted, but the sergeant had three of her four sons. So, Diaz felt entitled to at least ask. “They’ve got all their fingers and toes,” Diaz told the Marine Corps recruiter. “I’d like them back that way.” Sitting on the couch of her Oxnard home dressed in a red “Marine Corps Mom” T-shirt, she chokes up thinking about ...

Oxnard High School, or OHS as it is commonly referred to, is a public four-year high school serving grades 9–12 in Oxnard, California, United States. Oxnard High School serves the Southwest, Northwest and Beach communities of Oxnard and a northern portion of Port Hueneme.
The school is the oldest in the Oxnard Union High School District, and is the oldest public high school in all of Ventura County. The school was founded in 1901 and was originally built in downtown Oxnard, but it sat directly under the flightpath of Oxnard Airport, so the school relocated in 1995 to new facilities in Northwest Oxnard, in the River Ridge district.
Notable alumni

Jacob Rogers: Professional football player; former All-American and standout for USC Trojans.
Athletics
Football: The OHS team has won the Pacific View League title 5 times in the last 5 years, proving they are second to none. They have made it to the first round of CIF every time, but unfortunately fallen short. Last years game against Valencia brought heartache-since the Jackets lost by a measly 1 point
CIF Champions: 1928 – Defeated Santa Barbara 13-12
Track and Field: The track and field has been up and running without any real success for the last few years. Competitors Rio Mesa and Camarillo have beat the Jackets countless times, but in 2009 the Jackets broke that streak. The boys team beat Camarillo for the first time in a decade and the girls beat them for the second time, the other being last year, 2008. In their match against Rio Mesa-the powerhouse- the Jackets fell short 9 points.
Cross Country: Having no real success, the Jackets are proud to show off a new coach which has been inching them ever so closely. The girls team has made it to CIF a few times in the last decade, but for the most part, the Jackets as a cross country team have been a dormant giant, promising to wake up and conquer soon.
