Oxon Hill High School

Oxon Hill High School (OHHS) is a public senior high school located in Oxon Hill, an unincorporated area in Prince George's County, Maryland, and a suburb of Washington, D.C. in the United States.
The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Prince George's County Public Schools system.
Oxon Hill is one of three schools in Prince George's county to offer the Science & Technology Program (see below), a magnet program with a highly selective admissions process. This program is a "school within a school" with approximately 125 students in each entering class. Overall, the school has approximately 2,500 students spread across the four grade levels. In recent years, the school has suffered persistent overcrowding due to its popular academic programs, extracurricular activities, and location in the burgeoning southern tier of the county.
The school mascot is a Clipper Ship, as chosen through a student contest. The school motto is ''Navis Semper Naviget'' (May The Ship Sail Forever).
==History==
The Oxon Hill Consolidated School, a union of five elementary schools, started in 1925.〔(Oxon Hill About OHHS )〕 The school's first addition came in 1926, with three more in a period between 1928 and 1938 at the site which is currently Oxon Hill Elementary School on Livingston Road.
In 1948, the consolidated school ended and a grades 7 through 12 school was established in a new two-story building, which is currently the Education and Staff Development Center facing Maryland Route 210. The school operated on a split session until John Hanson Junior High School opened. With an expanding suburban population (approximately 1959) the current, larger school campus opened on Leyte Drive in the Southlawn community (SLC). (In the early 1960s the school's zoned attendance area stretched from the District of Columbia line as far south as Piscataway Creek/Bay. In the 1960s/1970s many of these neighborhoods were switched to Potomac, Crossland, and Friendly high schools after those schools were built). The school's music departments were especially noted, winning awards on local, national, and international levels. The student body was nearly all Caucasian, which gradually changed to majority African American as did the community. In the 1980s, the school was expanded by adding the magnet program's Science and Technology building.
In 1966 Oxon Hill High School, then serving as a senior high school with grades 10, 11, and 12, was selected as one of the first dozen high schools in the United States to participate in the U.S. Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) program.
The school received some attention in the local media in 1995 after the shooting death of student Charles "Chuck" Marsh while waiting for a bus in front of the school.〔(violent deaths on buses )〕 President Clinton alluded to the case when he made his remark about requiring school uniforms in his State of the Union address.〔http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-767617.html Student's Death Over Jacket, Noted in Clinton's Speech, Remains Unsolved, Police Say〕
A complete new school facility is scheduled to open in 2014 next to the current site, with demolition of the old building in 2014.Oxon Hill High is the first PGCPS to have a turf football field.〔http://www1.pgcps.org/communications/press.aspx?id=153771〕
