= Olympian High School (rough draft) = Olympian High School (OHS) is a public, four-year (grade levels 9-12) high school located in San Diego County, California, United States. The school is encompassed within the Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD). With a capacity of 2,500 students, OHS opened in August 2006. It is located in the Otay Ranch area of Chula Vista and possesses 54-acres (222,000m²) of land.

History
On August 2006, OHS opened under the name "Olympic High School". Constructed in the outer skirts of Otay Ranch, which had not yet been fully developed at the time, the school adopted an academically-focused approach to curricula as it opened. It continues to focus on academics, which, in 2023, has been routinely criticized by the SUHSD as well as high-school students for excluding non-academic post-secondary choice.

Name change
OHS underwent many name considerations. With the location of the school being only a couple miles from the former Olympic Training Center, now named the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center. Naming it "Olympic High School" seemed the logical choice, however, the name was denied by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOC). Following further negotiations with the USOC, SUHSD was authorized to use the name "Olympic Vista High School". The USOC eventually approved "Olympian High School", to which it continues to be used today.
