School Notes:
  • Oak Park High School is a high school in the North Kansas City School District in Kansas City, Missouri. The student body is composed of ninth through twelfth grade students, with a 2005 enrollment of 1,970. The school's mascot is "Norman the Northman", a lumberjack character. The school is adjacent to Oak Grove Park in Gladstone, Missouri. The school's current principal is Mr. Fred Skretta.
  • The first Oak Park students graduated in 1966. Formerly, students attended North Kansas City High School located in North Kansas City, Missouri.
  • During the 1970-1971 school year, Oak Park High School also served as a facility for sophomore students enrolled at nearby Winnetonka High School due to delays caused by a construction workers' strike at Winnetonka after a school board announcement that the district's boundaries were to be changed. As a result, Oak Park students were forced to attend classes beginning at 6:00 am each day. The school day was abbreviated so that classes ended at 1:00 pm. At 2:00 pm, Winnetonka students and teachers arrived, and Oak Park High School acted as Winnetonka's primary facility until late in the evening. The temporary relocation lasted several months.
