Rancho High School is a zoned, and magnet high school in North Las Vegas, Nevada. It is part of the Clark County School District. Opened in 1953, Rancho High School was the third public high school founded in the Las Vegas Valley, after Las Vegas High School (1905) and Basic High School (1942).

Band

Since 2008, the band program at Rancho High School has gone through a renaissance under the leadership of the band director Clinton Williams, and the principal Dr. James Kuzma. The marching band program "Rancho Regiment" is a three-time Bands of America Regional finalist. In 2018, the Rancho Regiment was the Western Band Association class 3A winner, and the color guard won the high auxiliary award in 2018 & 2019. That same year, the marching band, wind ensemble, and jazz band traveled to Cañon City, Colorado and participated in the Canon City Blossom Festival, where they earned the sweepstakes award for its ensemble entries in the competition. In 2019, the brass & woodwind choir along with the clarinet choir were invited to perform in the prestigious Midwest Clinic in Chicago, IL. The band director has earned multiple awards for excellence from The Midwest Clinic and the Nevada Music Educators Association.

New facility

The old campus was torn down in June 2006 after over 50 years of being the main location for the school. In July 2006, indoor, mall-style school was completed and the students moved in. It was erected on the site of the old football field. After the campus was completed, construction began on a new artificial turf football field and track. Construction was completed in 2007.

The moving of the school changed its address to the City of Las Vegas, while still being within North Las Vegas.
