Paw Paw High School, the only secondary school in the Paw Paw, Michigan area, is located in a rural setting on Red Arrow Highway. Construction on the current building was completed in 1998, with a new auditorium added in 2002. Construction of a new wing and renovations began in the summer of 2007 and were completed in the fall of that year. Paw Paw High School students have the opportunity to enroll at the Van Buren Technology Center or to dual enroll in area colleges including Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Western Michigan University. In addition to these programs, the school offers several Advanced Placement courses. Programs of distinction include the largest SADD chapter in the state of Michigan, and 39 athletic offerings.
The mascot for the school is the Redskins. In February 2017, the Board of Education approved a controversial measure on a 4-3 vote to keep the mascot and to permanently prevent the mascot from being changed unless federal funding is withheld due to its use.
