Oswego Junior Senior High School is a public, co-educational attendance center in Oswego, Kansas serving students in grades 7-12.

History

The former Oswego High School moved to this site in 1994 from an historic 1921 building near uptown Oswego. Following the high school's move, the former Oswego Junior High School moved from the former Westside School attendance center into the high school's former building and became Oswego Middle School, serving grades 6-8. In 2015, Oswego USD 504 completed a large expansion at the Tomahawk Trail campus, and combined the two attendance centers, creating Oswego Junior Senior High School. Sixth grade students returned to the Neosho Heights Elementary School attendance center.

Awards

Oswego High School was honored in 2011 by the United States Department of Education as part of the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program.[1] U.S. News & World Report has repeatedly recognized Oswego High School in its national rankings with a bronze medal, ranking the school as one of the best schools in Kansas and the United States for college preparation and state assessment proficiency.[2]
