Wapakoneta High School is a public high school in Wapakoneta, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Wapakoneta City School District.

In the 1950s, the city's growing population produced overcrowding in the old Blume High School. After a series of failed attempts, the school board won voter approval for the construction of the former school in 1956, and it opened in 1959.[2] This school later became Wapakoneta Middle School.

In 1990, the district opened a new high school building on the north side of town. An auditorium plus new band and choirs room were added in 2010. Eighth graders started attending the high school in 2004 as well.
