Orange High School is a co-educational, secondary, public, day school located in Orange, a provincial city of New South Wales, Australia, 260 kilometres west of Sydney.
Founded in 1912, the school was the first state secondary school to be established in western New South Wales, and is one of two government secondary schools located in the city of Orange, the other being The Canobolas Rural Technology High School.
Orange High School has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 1100 students from Years 7 to 12. It is a school of the New South Wales Department of Education and Training (DET), and prepares students for the School Certificate (Year 10), and the Higher School Certificate (Year 12).
Founded in 1912, Orange High School was the first state secondary school to be established in western New South Wales. The school's first classes were held in the School of Arts building, now the site of the Police and Community Youth Club in Byng Street. The school then moved to purpose built facilities on the corner of March Street and Sale Street, which are now part of the TAFE complex.
Amongst the decisions made in the first year were for the school colours to be black and gold, the design of the school badge and the motto, "Quod Potero Sedulo" (translated from Latin as "Be Able To Pay").
