Welcome to Boise High School

Boise High is one of five public high schools in the city of Boise. Established in 1881, it is the oldest and is located near the downtown core. We are a three-year comprehensive public school with an enrollment of over 1400 students. For several years we have been recognized by the Northwest Association of School’s Accreditation Committees as an Exemplary Accredited School and by Newsweek Magazine as one of the top 500 high schools in the nation.

Boise High School is a special place because of our students and the professional educators who teach here. A tradition of excellence is embraced by the faculty and transferred to students. Our approach to education produces high test scores; a school wide GPA that well exceeds a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale; high enrollment in AP and accelerated classes; numerous Merit Scholars; and a college attendance rate of over 70 percent.

Boise High strives to provide students with a balanced educational program, providing both curricular and extra-curricular activities. School clubs offer outlets to compete or to just belong to a group with similar interests. We emphasize our Guiding Principles for proper behaviors for students and staff and we also have a strong spirit of community service. Our students excel in the classroom, on the playing field, and in the concert hall.

Boise High is a special place with deep historic and traditional roots. We are proud of our school, our students, our staff, and of the accomplishments of our alumni. We are unified in our commitment to excellence.
