Checotah High School is a public school in Checotah, Oklahoma. In 2025 it had about 395 students in grades 9 to 12. It is categorized as rural. Almost 40 percent of its students are indigenous peoples.[1] The Checotah school campus including the elementary and junior high school were documented as historic landmarks. They include a circa 1939 red brick building constructed by the WPA.[2]

The school was accredited in 1914 by the state of Oklahoma.[3] George W. Cable and then George C. Rorie served as principal. In 1916 it had a debate team.[4] A photograph of the school's 1921 football team is held by the Oklahoma Historical Society.[5] Students have been involved in vocational agriculture programs. A study of farming students was undertaken.[6] There is a Checotah High School Jazz Band.

Country singer Carrie Underwood is an alumna and has made a series of donations to the school.[7] The school's Fine Arts wing is named for her.[8]
