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 2009 had an enrolment of 694 students between Year 8 and Year 12, 49 (7%) of whom were Aboriginal.^{[citation needed]}

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.^[2]

In June 2009 an incident occurred which police were called to the school in order to break up a fight that had broken out due to racist comments being directed at indigenous students.^[3] The school has since taken steps to correct this.^[4]
