Eagle High School is a secondary school located in Eagle, Idaho which educates students in grades 9-12.

In 2006, Eagle High School became the first high school in Idaho with an artificial turf football field. The project cost $500,000 and was funded entirely by donations, half of which was raised by the Eagle High Booster Club.

In recent years, Eagle High School has taken a political swerve to the right, putting it in line with most other Idaho schools. Whereas the school was once notable for high test scores among students, it's now known statewide for requiring each student, on pain of a $5 fine, to wear an ID tag at all times. Visitors are not allowed on campus without an appointment and clearance from a specific member of the faculty; no students are allowed bags of any size; and the lunch period has been shortened so drastically that many Eagle High students don't have time to both stand in cafeteria lines and eat their food. In the two years since these policies have begun to take effect, the average GPA of the EHS student has dropped .2, and the average ACT score has fallen from a 24 to a 21. Since 2003, the number of students who dropped out of the school system while enrolled at Eagle has seen a fifty percent increase. The administrative officials of EHS insist these policies are for the safety of students.
