Xenia High School is a public high school in Xenia, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Xenia Community Schools district, where enrollment is over 1,100 students. The Ohio Department of Education has given Xenia High School a rating of "Continuous Improvement" for the 2011-2012 school year; the school met 10 out of 12 state indicators.
The circa 1957 high school was destroyed by an F5 tornado on April 3, 1974, during what was dubbed the 1974 Super Outbreak. A replacement building was constructed in the north of the city. Students from the high school and several other schools were relocated to Warner Middle School for three years until the new school was built.

The school's mascot is the Buccaneer and its colors are blue and white. The school's fight song is "Hoorah for Xenia High School." Jack Harbaugh was the head football coach for one year, in 1966.
