Seminole High School is a public high school located in Seminole, Oklahoma, operated by Seminole Public Schools.
As of the 2006-07 school year, the school had an enrollment of 482 students and 30.6 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.8.[2]
In 2015, students were moved out of the high school due to safety concerns with the building that was originally built in 1930.[3] In 2017, Seminole voters approved construction of a brand new high school to be built on the northwest side of the city.[4]
