Welcome Message from New Superintendent - William Brown
Dear Oroville Parents and Community Members,
It is an absolute honor to serve as Superintendent of the Oroville Union High School District. Our schools have long traditions of academic achievement and athletic excellence and are deeply enriched by a supportive school community of students, parents, faculty, and staff. Together, we work to assist all students in reaching their academic and social-emotional potential in preparation for success in our forever-changing world.
As you are all well aware, the past five school years have been plagued with stress for families, students, and staff from a number of sources; pandemic, spillway compromise, and Camp Fire, to name a few. Through it all, Oroville Union High School District's number one priority has been to provide the best education to our students each day. We will continue with the same focus on student success in 2023-2024 and well into the future. As we look forward to the new school year, we excitedly anticipate collaborating with you on how we can provide the most robust and comprehensive educational and extracurricular opportunities for all students.
I am excited to be a part of this amazing community and look forward to all Oroville has to offer. I ask that you reach out via email, phone, or in-person for any needs, concerns, or celebrations you may have. My door is always open as we work together for all students in the Oroville Union High School District community!
On behalf of everyone in the Oroville Union High School District, I sincerely thank you for your support of our schools, and for the opportunity to work with you as a leader in this extraordinary school community. I wish each of you an awesome summer vacation as we prepare for a fantastic school year!
Sincerely,
William A. Brown

Limited Staff at District Office and School Sites During the Summer
The availability of staff at the District Office and at our school offices may be limited during the summer, especially in July, due to work schedules and vacations. Counselors do not return to work until August. We advise people to call or send an email to make an appointment. Phone calls and emails will be returned as soon as the person you are trying to reach is back in their office.
|
Dress Code Reminder
As you buy school clothes this summer, we want to remind you of our dress code:
-
Shirts must have straps and go over both shoulders.
-
Clothing must be made of solid material and not be see-through, sheer, or have large openings.
-
Pants, shorts and skirts must stay up on the waist and cover the buttocks and your body should be covered from shoulders to mid thighs.
Students who don't comply will be sent to the office to borrow a clean item of clothing from a school supply, change into their PE clothes, or call a parent to bring them appropriate clothing. We want students to be in class learning, so please help us by making sure your student is wearing appropriate clothing to school.

Harrison Stadium Closed This Summer
The stadium will be closed all summer while our contractor installs a new track, turf and scoreboard. It will be ready to go for football season!
|
Need a Work Permit?
Work permits are issued from the school that your student attends. Please check your school’s website for information on how to apply for a work permit during the summer. Our schools have limited staffing in July, so it’s better to apply sooner than later.
|
Annual Student Information Update
Parents/guardians are required to review and update their student’s data on file through an electronic process called Parent Data Confirmation. You will receive information about this process in early July via email and U.S. mail. Please take a few minutes to review and update your student’s data in order to avoid receiving weekly reminders. This process must be completed before your student returns to school. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
