Oakville High School (formerly Oakville Senior High School) is a public comprehensive high school in Oakville, Missouri that is part of the Mehlville R-9 School District.
In the 1960s, the district was struggling to keep up with skyrocking enrollments. Because of this, it was decided that a second high school needed to be built. Oakville High School was founded in 1969, originally being housed at the Jefferson Barracks Building in Mehlville until it moved into its present building at 5557 Milburn Road in 1973.[4]
The school's colors are black and gold and the school mascot is the Tiger. The school uses similar branding to the University of Missouri Tigers, most notably with Oakville using the Missouri Tigers logo to represent them in athletics.
