Built in 1971, OVHS is the result of a consolidation of several smaller schools located within Owen County.

In the fall of 2003, ground was broken on the renovation and additions that have been made to the OVHS.

The Cornerstone was written by graduating Class Secretary Thomas Barnett.

It reads as follows: "Dedicated to honor those who educate students for future generations."

Owen Valley's mascot is the Patriot, and the school's colors are red, white and blue.
