Plano High School is a public high school in Plano, Illinois, USA, serving students in grades 9–12. The school is part of the Plano Community Unit School District #88. This school had an average ACT score of 18.8 in 2013, and had 44 percent of students meeting or exceeding standards on the PSAE.

As of the 2011-2012 school year, the school had an enrollment of 619 students and 44.66 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student-teacher ratio of 1:13.86.

Due to high population growth rates in Plano, an addition was built in 2007-2008 to alleviate overcrowding.

In the fall of 2010, principal William Johnson announced his retirement after serving as principal for seven years. In the spring of 2010, it was announced that Eric M. Benson would take over the position.

The high schools in the neighboring cities of Plano and Sandwich have an historic rivalry. The two are members of the same conference, the Interstate Eight Conference. The rivalry game has garnered names such as the "War of the Line" and the "Battle of US 34" due to the location of US 34 passing through the communities and Sandwich's municipal limits coming into Kendall County, where Plano is also located.

Plano operates on a 7:40 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. schedule. The school does not allow off-campus lunch.

Plano currently has chapters of organizations such as the National Honor Society, the International Thespian Troupe #1535, and Operation Snowball.

Plano's teams compete in the Interstate Eight Conference through the Illinois High School Association (IHSA).
