Welcome to Oak Park and River Forest High School, Home of the Huskies!

Since 1873, this comprehensive, community high school has provided students with an array of
academic, athletic, and activity opportunities. These opportunities, in turn, challenge
students to acquire and develop the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in life beyond
high school. OPRF is committed to preparing our students within a rigorous, relevant, and
personal educational experience. We and our community expect those
things that are best for our students whether their future paths take them to community,
state, or private colleges; the world of work; serving our country in the armed forces, or other
endeavors.
Oak Park and River Forest High School remains a state and national lighthouse school because
its excellence
is the success of its students and in their lives beyond these halls. Many of
our students come back to the community to live and/or to send their own children to this high
school. We are not only a high school with a rich tradition, but we are also one that embodies
the values and aspirations of two communities, Oak Park and River Forest.
We also expect
those things that are best from ourselves. We commit ourselves to the education of
the community’s most valued resource: its children, our students. Our goal is to help
them write their own books and to become the authors of their own destinies. If students are
significantly and positively different when they walk across the stage and receive their diplomas
than when they entered the front door for the first time as freshmen, then we will have
accomplished that goal.
Take a few minutes and navigate our website. Get a glimpse of the many facets of
OPRF. It has not only vital information about the school, but it provides a window into the
many opportunities available for students.
WWW.OPRFHS.ORG
is also an important and timely avenue for us to communicate with parents, staff, students,
alumni, and our community. To that end, if you have suggestions for improving it, please pass
them along.
We proudly welcome you to Oak Park and River Forest High School.
Go Huskies!
