Welcome to Oak Park Schools Athletics

Athletics Department

The Oak Park Schools Athletics program is the home of some of the best athletic teams in the state of Michigan! Our athletics program boasts countless athletic scholarships for graduating seniors, legendary and award winning coaches and fierce high school competitors with schedules that provide competition on a local, state and national level. Our outdoor track, baseball/softball diamond, turf football field, and weight room are just a few of the many attributes available to Oak Park High School athletes. 

We are most proud of the drive and determination of our student-athletes and commitment of our athletic coaches. We hope that you will take advantage of our amazing reputation for producing some of the best student-athletes in the area and joining this amazing Knight tradition. 

The interscholastic athletic program of the Oak Park Schools operates and adheres to the guidelines of the Michigan High School Athletics Association (MHSAA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Clearing House.

Oak Park is in the Oakland Activities Association (OAA) Conference. Since 1994, the OAA has been one of the premier interscholastic athletic leagues in the state of Michigan. The OAA includes twenty-four public high schools located in Oakland County, Michigan and serves thousands of student-athletes in 26 sponsored sports (OAA, 2019).
