History
Oxford Hills High School was founded in 1961 as part of a consolidation plan statewide for small schools. It combined Norway High School and Paris High School, then rivals. The school operated in the previous school buildings until 1965, when a new school was built nearby. In 1998, the school integrated local technical classes and the core curriculum, creating the current institution.

“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
