Families of all rising ninth graders and new students are cordially invited to an Open House event on Thursday, August 20, 2026 from 6-8:00pm. During this event, families will have the opportunity to tour the building and participate in an orientation session in order to receive information regarding Oxon Hill High School contacts and resources, a typical day in the life of a Clipper, and other important resources to assist families as they support our scholars.
