Orofino High School, is a four-year secondary school in Orofino, Idaho, part of a combined high school and junior high school operated by the Orofino Joint School District #171. The school colors are royal blue, black and white and the mascot is a maniac.
West of the city center, the present campus was built in the late 1960s, and the junior high was added recently, following the closure of the century-old junior high building in 2010. The 8th grade was added in 2010 and the 7th grade in 2012, after two years at the elementary school.
OHS overlooks the Clearwater River from above its north bank, adjacent to a state correctional facility. Converted in 1984, the prison is on the property of the original State Hospital North, opened in 1905.
Orofino is the larger of the two high schools operated by the school district; the other is Timberline to the east, midway between Weippe and Pierce on Highway 11.
Orofino competes in athletics in IHSAA Class 2A in the Central Idaho League with Grangeville and St. Maries.
