Challis Jr. Sr. High School is a school in Challis, Idaho.[2] The former Challis High School, a building at 701 Main Ave. in Challis, Idaho, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was destroyed by the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake.
It was a stone building, built of local tuff stone, which demonstrated "the persistence of the false-front idea in Challis architecture. Here, the false front masks a simpler gabled schoolhouse and projects an image more in keeping with urban schools of the period."[3]
