Osbourn Park was a classic school of the 1970s, constructed with open, modular classrooms. Renovations began in 2005 to update the nearly thirty-year-old interior of the building. Some of the changes include permanent walls for classrooms including doors, new floors, and newly painted walls. These renovations were completed by the end of the 2006–2007 school year. Unity Reed High School, another county high school constructed around the same time, is an exact replica of Osbourn Park. Both schools have a red brick facade. In the summer of 2022, renovations were made to add more windows to the front of the school building. Athletics
The mascot is a yellow jacket and the sports teams currently play in the 6A Classification in Cedar Run Conference and 6A North Region. Osbourn Park's athletics stadium is named after Al Crow. Their athletics field is named after Larry Nemerow, a former soccer coach at Osbourn Park who coached for 23 successful years. Media
Osbourn Park High School offers a student produced newspaper titled, The Yellow Jacket. The student produced yearbook is titled The Hi-Jacket and is under the supervision of the school. Live from the Hive (a misnomer because yellow jackets live in nests instead of hives), the first student produced news program debuted in the 2007–2008 school year. The news episodes are an average of five minutes long and are broadcast to the entire school. There were nine episodes in the first season. The episodes focus on recent news, sports and upcoming information about the school. The first producer was Michelle Pecore (2007–2008), followed by 
Julia Hosick(2008–2009). Live From the Hive has not filmed since then. Mr. Jason Shaw was the advisor for the Yellow Jacket and Live from the Hive. Notable alumni
