Oakwood High School is part of the Oakwood City School District, Montgomery County, Ohio. The school is located in Oakwood, Ohio, off Far Hills, and serves more than 650 students. The school mascot is the Lumberjacks, though female teams for the school are usually referred to as "Lady Jacks" or just "Jills". Oakwood was named "A National School of Excellence" by the U.S. Department of Education in 1991. In 2007, the class of 2009 scored the highest out of any other class in the state on the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT), earning first place. The Classes of 2010 and 2012 repeated this feat.

For the 2008–2009 school year, the Ohio Department of Education rated Oakwood as "Excellent with Distinction" scoring 108.7 (of 120 possible points) on its performance index. Oakwood satisfied all 30 of the state educational indicators for the school year. Additionally, Newsweek in 2009 ranked Oakwood as the 281st best public high school in the nation.

Tech Team
The school's Tech Team has been in existence since 2005 and joined the Technology Student Association in 2008, becoming the first chapter in the Dayton, Ohio area. They have since competed in the BotsIQ competition with a small, wedge-style robot named Mortal Kombot.

Speech and Debate
The school's speech and debate program has seen some success over the last five decades, having qualified team members for the National Forensics League National Championship Tournament every year for the last fifty years. The club is one of only two schools to do so.
