Olivet Baptist High School, formerly Baptist Boys' High School, is an iconic public secondary school located in Oyo town. d with the Nigerian Baptist Convention, it was founded by the American International Mission Board on 29 January 1945 on its original site in the premises of the old Baptist mission house at Oke-Isokun, Oyo, Oyo State. Currently, the School is located on the Old Ibadan – Oyo Road. Its vibrant National Old Students Association (NOSA) was founded in 1976. “For 80 remarkable years, Olivet Heights, Oyo, has stood as a beacon of learning, growth, and community transformation, nurturing generations of thinkers, leaders, and visionaries. As we mark this historic 80th anniversary milestone, it is vital not only to celebrate its enduring legacy but, more importantly, to address its urgent needs through a meaningful spirit of giving back,” remarked the representatives.

This celebration marks a unique occasion for the Olivet community to come together and invest in the future of Olivet Baptist High School. At its inception, the school was among the few in Nigeria outside Lagos that boasted hostel facilities, staff quarters, and excellent laboratories for sciences, home economics/food & nutrition, fine arts, and music. It also featured workshops for metalwork, woodwork, and technical drawing (mechanical/building), an agricultural center with poultry and a fishpond, and various sports facilities. Consequently, Olivet Heights became a dominant force in inter-school academic literary debating competitions and sports, excelling in soccer, basketball, hockey, handball, and athletics. The school also offered facilities for lawn tennis, cricket, squash, bton, volleyball, chess, and table tennis.

Congratulations to all alumni. Oliver Baptist High School is a great and respectable school.
