Oak Creek High School was built in 1961 at a cost of over $3 million. The school was renovated in 2001 and the football stadium was enlarged in 2012.

The high school was involved in a federal lawsuit, Butler v. Oak Creek-Franklin School District, 172 F.Supp.2d 1102, involving the school's athletic code. The case involved claims for violation of constitutional due process and state constitutional rights arising from suspension of a high school student.
