The State Board of Education voted on 9/6/2012 to approve the charter application of Oxford Preparatory High School. The state approval enables Oxford Preparatory High School to open a public charter high school in Granville County. Oxford Preparatory High School, a public charter school in Granville County, will open its door to 9th grade students in fall 2013.
Oxford Preparatory High School’s purpose is to graduate future leaders who have completed a rigorous curriculum, performed community service, and developed an appreciation of the arts that prepares them for the challenges of the college of their choice. With support from our diverse community, we will cultivate intellectual curiosity in well-rounded students by engaging in critical thinking and experiential learning.
The Oxford Preparatory High School (OPHS) Board of Directors and faculty believe that all children deserve access to a great education. With our community’s unique and complex history, we understand the need for an academic environment that is inclusive of our diverse community. For this reason, we strongly encourage all students and their families, no matter where they live in the surrounding area, ethnicity, family structure, gender, race, religion, and socioeconomic class to view OPHS as a resource for a high quality college preparatory education.
Diversity is a priority at OPHS and our goals and mission can only be fully achieved if we are inclusive in all aspects of our programs. We strongly encourage students who will be the first college graduate in their family to apply to OPHS. We pledge to recruit and hire highly talented administrators, teachers, and staff who share our commitment to these goals.
Oxford Preparatory High School will open in August 2013 for its inaugural class of 100 9th graders. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Andrew Swanner at oxfordprephs@gmail.com.
