Rancho High School is a high school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, within the Clark County School District.

The school opened in 1953 as the third public high school in the Las Vegas Valley, following Las Vegas High School (founded in 1905) and Basic High School (founded in 1942). Fifty years later, the original campus was torn down in June 2006 and students moved into a new campus, constructed on the site of the original campus' football field, in July 2006, with all construction finishing the following year.[citation needed]
