History

20th century

Oakton High School was founded in 1967 in Vienna, Virginia. The original Oakton High School was located in the facility now used by Oakton Elementary School. When it opened, Oakton was the host facility for an IBM 1401, which was Fairfax County's first computer, and a computer curriculum, one of the first offered at the high school level, was available to full-time Oakton High School students and students from several other county high schools on a part-time basis. This system was retired in the early 1970s when Fairfax County installed an IBM 360 mainframe at the Annandale campus of Northern Virginia Community College.

In 1973, while W. T. Woodson High School in nearby Fairfax City was being repaired after it was struck and damaged by a tornado, ^[6] Woodson students attended the remainder of the school year in a split shift at Oakton High School with Oakton students attending in the morning and Woodson students attending in the afternoon. ^[7]

21st century

In 2009, the school suspended, and threatened to expel, a student for taking a birth control pill while on the school's premises. ^[8] The incident was referenced during the August 3, 2009, episode of The Colbert Report , with the show satirically portraying the student as a "druggie". ^[9]

Organization

Oakton operates on a block schedule five days a week, alternating between "Burgundy" and "Gold" days. ^[10]

Feeder schools

Crossfield Elementary School, Hunters Woods Elementary School, Mosaic Elementary School, Navy Elementary School, Marshall Road Elementary School, Oakton Elementary School, Waples Mill Elementary School, Franklin Middle School, Luther Jackson Middle School, Thoreau Middle School, and Rachel Carson Middle School are all feeder schools into Oakton High School.

Bands

The Oakton High School marching band at the Lee-Davis Invitational competition in 2001

The Oakton Band program consists of a marching band, two concert bands, two jazz bands, a winter color guard, a drumline program, and several guitar classes and ensembles.

Oakton has been recognized as a Virginia Honor Band, the highest award for high school band programs, 23 times, including 11 consecutive years from 1995 to 2005.^{[ citation needed ]} The award is given to bands that receive superior marks for marching and concert performances of the top band. The marching band has won other awards at competitions throughout the country and has been featured in parades and professional football games.^{[ citation needed ]} The concert bands have made many appearances at Fiesta-val competitions in Chicago, Myrtle Beach, Orlando, and Toronto.^{[ citation needed ]}

Oakton High School hosts the Oakton Classic marching band competition, a fundraiser. The Classic has been held annually, usually in October, since 1986, with a gap year in 2012. ^[29]

Chorus

Oakton High School has four regular in-school choruses; Oakton Singers, Soprano Alto Chorale, Treble Chorus, and Tenor Bass Chorus. The department also has three after-school specialty groups: jazz choir, men's a cappella (the Accents), and women's a cappella (The Actaves). Both a cappella groups are student-run.

Honor Council

Oakton High School has a student-led Honor Council. The role of the Honor Council is to promote honesty and integrity throughout Oakton High School while enforcing the Oakton academic honor code. The Oakton HS Honor Council has two processes for students suspected of breaking the honor code: the Punitive Council or Restorative Justice. ^[30]

Punitive Council

The Punitive Council is the more traditional way the Honor Code has applied to students. If a teacher suspects a student of violating the Honor Code, the teacher fills out a form and turns it in to the Honor Council. The teacher also gives the suspect a form to fill out and for the suspect's parent or legal guardian to sign. The teacher and the student are allowed to prepare written testimonies about the possible Honor Code infraction. Usually, within a month, student representatives from the Honor Council and randomly selected staff members will be chosen to serve on a punitive council to determine whether or not a possible infraction occurred. The Punitive Council will read through both testimonies and evidence, if there is any, to decide on the possible infraction. The decision of the council is final.^{[ citation needed ]}

Restorative Justice

The Restorative Justice Program is a new development at Oakton HS. Restorative Justice is meant to help repair the relationships between the victim and the offender involved in an incident. The only way for a student to be able to participate in the Oakton Honor Council Restorative Justice is to admit to the Honor Code infraction. Once both the student and teacher agree, separate initial interviews will occur. Then, a circle with a Restorative Justice trained Honor Council member, and the offender and the victim discuss their actions and feelings and work towards an amicable solution to the Honor Code infraction.^{[ citation needed ]}

Orchestra

The Oakton High School strings program consists of four orchestras, ^[31] ordered in decreasing difficulty level: the Chamber Orchestra, the Philharmonic Orchestra, the Symphonic Orchestra, and the Concert Orchestra.

The Chamber Orchestra participated in the Orchestra America National Festival in Indianapolis, part of the Music for All National Festival, in 2008. The orchestra applied and was accepted in 2007 and prepared an approximately 45-minute concert consisting of three pieces. On March 1, 2008, the Chamber Orchestra performed its selections at the Hilbert Circle Theatre, home of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. ^[32] Later that year, the Chamber Orchestra was accepted to perform at the American String Teachers Association National Conference, which took place in March 2009 in Atlanta. The group placed fourth, the highest ranking of a non-magnet, non-music school.

In 2022, the Oakton Theatre Department performed Peter Pan .

Performing arts

Oakton's Performing Arts Department, which includes band, choral, orchestral, and theatre arts departments, regularly earns distinction as one of the premier performing arts programs in the area. ^[33] In 2008, the performing arts department won the Blue Ribbon Award, a result of Superior ratings for all Band, Choral, and Orchestra groups in state festivals.^{[ citation needed ]}

Publications

Oakton's Publications Department produces a newspaper, The Outlook, a yearbook called Paragon, and a literary magazine, Opus. In October 2006, both The Outlook and Paragon received Trophy-Class honors at the Virginia High School League, with a rating of Superior. In April 2008, Paragon received a Pacemaker award, one of the highest honors in high school journalism, as well as 8th in best of show. The Outlook placed 6th in best of show.

The school used to have a radio club, Fat Cat Radio, and a daily television show, Cougar News. Every Friday, Oakton on Air, Oakton's student-led news show, is broadcast by teachers during the day's first period.

Theatre

The school's drama program has put on Arsenic and Old Lace , The Wizard of Oz , and other plays and musicals. ^[34] The 2007–08 season included The Importance of Being Earnest , You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown and Into the Woods . The 2008–09 season included The Foreigner. ^[35]

Performances usually occur in the Robert "Skip" Bromley Auditorium, dedicated in 2008.

Campus

Like most Fairfax County schools, the building is of considerable size, consisting of two stories to accommodate its large population of students. The school has separate hallways for individual subjects. English classes are predominantly on the second floor; History, Math, and Science classes are on both floors. Oakton High school is within walking distance of the Vienna Metro Station. Oakton High School began renovations in June 2018, which were completed in May 2023. ^[36]
