History
Oak Hill High School opened in 1976 on Oak Hill in Wales, Maine. Before it opened, students in the three towns attended Monmouth Academy.
In 1994, a new wing with six classrooms, offices, and a courtyard was constructed. Before the addition, the school relied on portable classrooms to meet its space needs.[3]
When the school opened it was served by well water. Eventually, a total of seven wells were dug, but all ran dry and none could meet the school's needs. By 2018, only two wells were active and were not supplying enough water to meet the building's needs and the school was forced to dismiss students early. By 2019, the school was connected to the Sabattus Water District.[4]
In 2025, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court heard three appeals on October 8 at the school as part of the courts' tradition of hearing cases in public high schools.[5]
