Orofino Junior/Senior High School, is a six-year secondary school in the northwest United States, located 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 the maniac.[3][4]

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

OHS overlooks the Clearwater River from above its north bank.[3][9][10][11]

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.
