West-Oak High School was created by the consolidation of Oakway and Westminster High Schools. The school serves students from approximately one-half of the land area in Oconee County, South Carolina. Both Oakway and Westminster schools had been previously consolidated in the 1960s with Fair Play, Long Creek and Cleveland community schools. Construction for the new building began in 1982, students entered in the fall of 1983, and the first class graduated in the spring of 1984.
West Oak High School is a very sports involved school. The mascot at West Oak is the Warrior.
The West Oak Warriors currently field Varsity and JV athletic teams in the following 16 events:
In sports, West Oaks rivals are the Wahalla High School Razorbacks and the Seneca High School Bobcats, both rival teams are located in Oconee County within 10 miles of West Oak.
As of the end of the 2009 season, the Warriors are 98-180 all time. They are 56-80 at their home stadium, Warrior Field. They are 42-100 on the road. The Warriors have been to the playoffs 9 times in their history. The Warriors' best season ever was in 1988, when they went 9-3.
West Oak's 2009 football season included 10 regular season games with 5 wins and 5 losses.
The Warriors made the SCHSL Playoffs, but made a first-round exit after falling to Greenville High School at Sirrine Stadium.
The Warrior football helmet features a spear with a flag on it. West Oak football's new flag logo is symbolic in many ways. The spear itself is a tribute to the legendary Dog Warriors, Native American fighters who would spear themselves to the ground in battle - only to be relieved by victory or death. The two crossing hatchets represent the two schools that joined to create us, Oakway and Westminster, and the three feathers represent the other small towns our students come from; Fair Play, Long Creek, and Townville.
There is currently one member of the West Oak Football Hall of Fame, the late Bill Waters. Bill Waters' tragic death in 1987 prevented him from being the first WOHS Warrior to play at the Division I Collegiate Level. Prior to his death, he had signed intent to play football at Clemson University under Danny Ford.
