 The
school logo combines double “Os” signifying
OOHS with the school's mascot, the Pioneer. The Pioneer
within the logo is a bold figure that represents strength
and looking toward the future. It also incorporates
the school's colors of blue and orange throughout.
Olentangy
Orange High and Middle schools were named in honor of
the “old” Orange School. The Orange School
was located on the northeast corner of the South Old
State Road and Orange Road intersections and was founded
in 1916.
The
Orange School was one of four schools located in the
Olentangy area prior to the district’s consolidation
in approximately 1952 into the Olentangy Schools as
we know it today. Those four schools were Powell (1911),
Hyatts (1914), Berlin (1915) and Orange (1916). Many
graduates from the Orange School still reside within
our community.
Olentangy
takes tremendous pride in the area’s history and
in these four schools. The naming of Olentangy Orange
High School (OOHS) is the district’s third building
to be named directly after one of the four original
schools.
OOHS
bears the school colors of orange and blue. Blue is
the district’s common color that is shared and
unites all of Olentangy’s schools. The school’s
orange color was matched to the same school color from
the Orange School. The OOHS mascot is the Pioneers.
 All
of Olentangy's schools are members of the Ohio High
School Athletic Association (OHSAA). As OHSAA members,
athletes in grades 7-12 are bound by all of the rules
and regulations set forth by this governing body. If
you have any questions regarding these rules please
call your school's Athletic Director or go
to the OHSAA website.
