History
INTRODUCTION OF OXFORD CITY SCHOOLS
Established in 1970, the Oxford City School District is a thriving school system operating in one of Alabama’s most economically successful cities. Situated in the retail hub of northeast Alabama, the Oxford School System has mirrored the growth of its founding city and has expanded from three schools serving 2,700 students in 1998 to six schools serving 4,200 students today.
