Narrogin Senior High School is a comprehensive public high school located in Narrogin, a regional centre 192 kilometres (119 mi) southeast of Perth, Western Australia.

The school was established in 1955 and by 2012 had an enrolment of 595 students between Year 8 and Year 12.

A longstanding competitor in the High School Country Week tournament the school won the champion school award when competing with the Agricultural school in 1984, 1985 and 1987 and then as the senior high school alone in 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993 and 1994.[1]

In June 2008 an incident occurred to which police were called to break up a fight due to racist comments being directed at both indigenous and non-indigenous students.[2] The school has since taken steps to correct this.[3]

Enrolments at the school have been in decline over the past few years, falling from 737 students in 2007 to 595 in 2012.
