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.[3]

West of the city center, the present campus was built in the late 1960s,[4] and the junior high was added recently, following the closure of the century-old junior high building in 2010.[5] The 8th grade was added in 2010 and the 7th grade in 2012, after two years at the elementary school.[6][7]

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.[3][8][9][10]

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.
