History

The school's building was built in 2008 to temporarily hold Linganore High School while Linganore's original building was being renovated. [3] In 2010, the school opened as Oakdale High School with only ninth and tenth grade. [4] In the 2011–2012 school year, an eleventh grade was added, and finally, the next year, Oakdale had in its attendance all four grades. [4] The first senior class from Oakdale graduated in June 2013.

2022 Bomb threat incident

On the morning of August 18, 2022, a student in the building sent several images via AirDrop, claiming there was an explosive placed in a locker. Shortly after the threats were reported to the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, the school was placed under a "hold" status, keeping students and teachers in place until released by officers. After investigation, officers found the threats not credible. School resource officers held multiple interviews throughout the school day and were able to identify a male juvenile as a suspect in the incident. Via a referral to juvenile court, the student was charged with "threats of mass violence" and "disruption of school activities." [5]

Blue Ribbon Schools Program

In 2023, Oakdale High School was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon school by the U.S. Department of Education. [6]
