History
Oak Hill was refused tax-exempt status by the IRS in the 1970s for refusal to execute a policy of non-discrimination.[1]
The school's policy was a matter of questioning at the Senate confirmation of Lyonel Thomas Senter Jr. as a federal judge. His children attended Oak Hill.[1]
In 1987, Oak Hill was still an all-white school, as described in Fyfe v. Curlee.Latino of any race.
