Oakmont High School is located at 1710 Cirby Way, in Roseville, California, United States. The school is surrounded by the communities of Citrus Heights, Rocklin, Granite Bay, and Antelope. It is one of five comprehensive high schools in the Roseville Joint Union High School District. Oakmont opened in September 1966. In the past ten years the campus has been updated with additional technology capacity, a new performing arts building and a field turf athletic stadium. In addition to serving roughly 1,600 students, the school exists as a center of activity for a growing community. Recently, Oakmont High School has undergone drops in student enrollment due to the opening of nearby Antelope High School.
