The Tohono O'odham High School is a high school in the town of Sells, Arizona in the heart of the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation. Located along Arizona State Route 86 (mile marker 74), it is operated directly by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.^[2] Feeder schools include the San Simon day school and the Santa Rosa Boarding School, also operated by the BIA. It was established in the mid-1980s as the remaining reservations in Arizona finally received their own high schools.

The public district high school in Sells is Baboquivari High School, which is just over twice as large.
