Oakville High School (formerly Oakville Senior High School) is a public comprehensive high school in Oakville, Missouri that is part of the Mehlville R-9 School District.

History

The school was developed in the 1970s. [3] At that time the district had high enrollments and severe overcrowding at Mehlville High School, mainly due to a major population increase in the Oakville area. The temporary solution was establishing a ninth-grade center; it was housed at the district's Jefferson Barracks Building near the Jefferson Barracks Military Post, and began offering classes in September 1970. [4]

A second four-year high school was planned to alleviate the overcrowding so, the ninth-grade center would could move to a new building in Oakville in the fall of 1973 and be formally established as Oakville Senior High School.

Two weeks before the beginning of the 1973-74 school year electric panels were uncovered and the gym floor was not fully installed. The building opened on time, not fully finished.

Oakville High School was built on the top of a hill. After sinkholes in the school's back lot were fixed, a football field was built on campus. The stadium would later be named "Roger E. Estes Field" after the Athletics Director. [3]

The school's colors are black and gold and the school mascot is the Tiger. The school uses similar branding to the University of Missouri Tigers, most notably with Oakville using the Missouri Tigers logo to represent them in athletics.

Student Body

Oakville has a co-educational student body of 1,684 in the 2022-23 school year, increasing by about 10% over the past five school years. Most students come from Bernard Middle School and Oakville Middle School, with a handful coming from Washington Middle School. The racial makeup of the school is approximately 83.5% White, 7.2% Black, 3.6% Asian, and 2.8% Hispanic. [5]

Athletics/Activities

For the 2013–2014 school year, the school offered 27 activities approved by the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA): baseball, boys and girls basketball, sideline cheerleading, boys and girls cross country, dance team, field hockey, 11-man football, boys and girls golf, music activities, scholar bowl, boys and girls soccer, softball, speech and debate, boys and girls swimming and diving, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls track and field, boys and girls volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. [6] In addition to its current activities, Oakville students have won several state championships, including:

On May 12, 2022, the girls waterpolo team defeated Marquette to win the 2022 state championship. The team was led by offensive player of the year Senior Jenna Wolf with 206 Points and Senior Lauren Manning defensive player of the year. Brett Walters, an Oakville and University of Missouri graduate, coached the team and was named district coach of the year.
