History
O'Neill CVI is the oldest school in Oshawa, founded in the early 1900's as Oshawa High School and was renamed O'Neill in 1930 after a former principal, Albert O'Neill. O'Neill celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2005 with a large mural in the library and a huge reunion of students and teachers.
Academics
O'Neill is home to both a Performing Arts program (PA) and a Visual Arts program (VA), as well as a Gifted program for identified Gifted and Enriched students. PA and VA programs draw students from across Durham Region, and O'Neill was mentioned in the Toronto Star as a prestigious arts school in Southern Ontario. The Gifted program, however, only draws students from across Oshawa, as the other cities in Durham Region have their own Gifted schools. O'Neill also offers Advanced Placement courses for students in grades 11 and 12.
Due to O'Neill's large amounts of Gifted and Enriched students, O'Neill far surpassed the Durham Board of Education's average on the EQAO testing to be one of the top schools in the region.
Extracurriculars
O'Neill offers many extracurriculars, such as several choirs and bands; the School Reach team; sports teams in soccer, rugby, cross country, basketball, volleyball, golf, and others; STAR (Students Together Against Racism); the school newspaper, the O'Neill Promethean; the Spirit Committee; Chess Club; Ping Pong club; the Model UN; the Breakfast Club; and numerous other clubs.
