Twin Falls High School is a high school in Twin Falls, Idaho. It is the main high school operated by the Twin Falls School District.
Twin Falls High School was founded in 1907. Citizens passed a bond in 1909 to begin construct the high school building and a supplemental bond in 1911 to complete construction .Formal dedication of the original high school school, located on Shoshone Street next to the Twin Falls County Courthouse, occurred in February 1912. A new Twin Falls High School opened at its present Filer Avenue location in September 1954. The original high school building was converted to Twin Falls Junior High and subsequently re-named O'Leary Jr. High after the long-time teacher and principal, Vera C. O'Leary. The building was condemned in 1976 and later torn down.
The Bruin has been Twin Falls High School's mascot since the 1920s. The Coyote was the school's mascot prior to that. Twin Falls High School sports teams compete in the 5A classification, which includes the 15 largest high schools in Idaho. The Twin Falls Bruins won the 5A state football championship in 2004, and the 5A state boys' basketball championship in 2006.
As the only regular public high school in a city of nearly 40,000, Twin Falls High School is one of largest in Idaho. As such it has faced overcrowding problems in recent years. To alleviate this, a new public high school, Canyon Ridge High School, will be built in western Twin Falls by 2009. When completed both Twin Falls and Canyon Ridge will include grades 9 through 12, instead of the current 10-12 setup at Twin Falls High School. It is assumed Twin Falls High School will retain jurisdiction over the eastern half of the city.
Twin Falls High School's yearbook is the Bruin. Bruin News is the school's student newspaper.
