Mission Statement

Ooltewah High School endeavors to develop students, who are knowledgeable, compassionate, lifelong learners prepared to actively participate as citizens in a global society.

About The School

Established in 1907, Ooltewah High School is steeped in tradition and community. Home to the Owls, OHS’ current building – which opened in 1975 – is centrally located in the heart of Ooltewah on Mountain View Road.

Our school boasts many unique programs from AP Capstone to Future Ready programs, allowing us to meet a variety of students interests. We want learning to extend beyond the walls – to offer them a choice to excel in their desired fields while at OHS and to make a future impact on the world after graduation. OHS is a multicultural school catering to a diverse community, serving over 1200 students in 9th through 12th grades. Our school’s graduation rate has increased to 91% in 2024. The increase has been credited to a lot of hard work and initiatives like Choice Academy, Success Academy and Freshmen Academy and Future Ready Programs.
