Oxon Hill High School (OHHS) is a public high school located in Oxon Hill, an unincorporated area in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States.
The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Prince George's County Public Schools system.
Oxon Hill is one of three schools in the County to offer the Science & Technology program, a magnet program with selective admissions. In recent years the school has suffered persistent overcrowding because of its popular academic programs, extracurricular activities, and location in the burgeoning southern tier of the County.
History: The Oxon Hill Consolidated School, a union of five elementary schools, started in 1925 . The school's first addition came in 1926, with three more in a period between 1928 and 1938 at the site which is currently Oxon Hill Elementary School on Livingston Road.
In 1948, the consolidated school ended and a grade 7 through 12 school was established in a new two-story building, which is currently the Education and Staff Development Center facing Highway 210. The school operated on a split session until John Hanson Junior High School opened. With an expanding suburban population, approximately 1959 the current, larger school campus opened, on Leyte Drive in the Southlawn community. In the 1990s it was expanded by adding the magnet program Science and Technology Center building.
In the school year of 2005-2006 Oxon Hill High underwent many external and internal changes. New principal Gordon Libby started a restoration project for the entire school that included a fresh paint job, new choir room, new band room, and the promise of a new Oxon Hill High building in the years to come.
In addition to the external observations, Oxon Hill High has adopted a new bell schedule that alternates classes for "A days" and "B days." Classes are alternated in odd (periods 1,3,5,7), and even (periods 2,4,6,8) groups. This change has made the schedule more uniform for all students attending, and it has allowed security to monitor the hallways with a greater authority and strictness to the school rules and county student code of conduct.
Notable graduates: Emily Perez, first female minority Command Sergeant in the history of the United States Military Academy at West Point; she was killed in action in 2006 in Iraq.
Michael Sweetney, a professional basketball player for the Chicago Bulls.
Lamar Butler, former starting guard for George Mason University during their 2005-2006 surprising season run to the Final Four.
Marcus Daniels, a 2nd year finance and economics student at Morehouse College, has traveled to Geneva, Switzerland for Harvard University World Model United Nations Conference.
Derrick Delmore, championship ice skater (World Junior Championships, National Collegiate Championships), Stanford graduate, and occasional pianist.
