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.

On August 18, 2022, a bomb threat was made against the school by a student, leading to an investigation by the Frederick County Sheriff's Office, which found the threats not credible. 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]
