OHS is the only high school in the Orange City School District, which also includes Ballard Brady Middle School, and Moreland Hills Elementary School.
- History
-
In 1924, the Orange Schools were consolidated from the individually operated Orange Township public schools. That year, the Foreman family donated the first of property to ultimately comprise a school district campus and the first Orange Schools building was opened on the current site of the high school. This facility was expanded numerous times to accommodate the growth of the five cities, Pepper Pike, Hunting Valley, Woodmere, Orange, and Moreland Hills, formerly comprising Orange Township.
- Pepper Pike Elementary School was opened in 1954 and expanded in 1956. Moreland Hills Elementary School was opened in 1958 to expand the capacity for elementary education and further free up space in the original school building for grades 6-12. In 1963, Ballard Brady Middle School, named in honor of the superintendent (1951-1967), was opened to house grades 6-8.
- In 1973, the current Orange High School's contemporary structure was expanded upon, built around and opened on the site of the original school building.
- In 1984, due to fluctuations in student class sizes Pepper Pike Elementary School was closed and reopened as the center for Orange Community Education and Recreation (OCER). However, in 1988 the school reopened to serve grades 3 and 4.
- In 2000, Orange High School released its first issue of their newspaper entitled "The Orange Outlook". The newspaper is still releasing issues every 2 months. The paper is sixteen pages featuring school news, entertainment, and student achievements.
- In 2001, both Moreland Hills and Pepper Pike Elementary Schools closed as the new Moreland Hills Elementary School opened to serve pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Pepper Pike School reopened as the Pepper Pike Learning Center. It houses OCER, community pre-school, board meetings and other school and community functions. The old Moreland Hills School was renovated into a facility for maintenance, shipping/receiving, computer repair and storage.
