History
Oakmont opened in September, 1965. In 2014, fourteen players were suspended from the football team for drug usage.

In 2021, hundreds of students were forced to quarantine due to Covid-19 after five students tested positive.

Racial incidents
In 2014, one of two hazing incidents that targeted an African-American student resulted in the thirteen students being charged with hate crimes. At the time, Oakmont was largely white, with only 3 percent of the schools population being Black. In 2015, another incident of racial hatred occurred on campus, including vandalism. In 2022 another racist incident occurred in which two separate White students, spurred on by nationwide protests involving the treatment of George Floyd, spread videos with offensive content toward Black students.

Advanced placement classes
During the 2008–2009 school year, 200 students took Advanced Placement exams. According to the California Department of Education, approximately 47% of the exams taken that year were scored a “3” or better.

Alternative courses
The school also offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and the Health Careers Academy. The latter is a three-year college preparatory program for students who want to explore working in healthcare.
