"Grants Pass High School" is a public high school located in Grants Pass, Oregon. Grants Pass High School was originally built in 1885, in a wooden building located at Fourth and C Streets. The first graduating class was in 1888. Around 1911 a new building was built at the center of the present campus on Olive Street between 8th and 9th Streets. In 1939 North Junior High School was built next door. Various other additions to the campus occurred between 1948 - 1969, including expansions to the central building as well as numerous satellite buildings. When North Junior High School was relocated, its old campus became the English Building. In 1999, the entire campus was demolished and re-constructed. The facility is now a state of the art high school, complete with a Performing Arts Center which is also used as a convention center and theater for the community.

In addition to the Performing Arts center, the school in its current configuration is comprised of the core building, the commons, the science building, Pro-tech building, and the new Heater/Newman Gym. The competition gym was constructed with ‘pit' style seating and has an indoor running track. There is also a smaller practice gym included in the gym complex. A new 'turf' field was also installed which is used primarily for football and soccer games, as well as band competitions, with stadium seating on both sides of the field. In 2005, a 'turf' softball field was also installed. The campus, located at 830 NE 9th Street, is spread over approximately 47 acres of land in the heart of beautiful downtown Grants Pass. Current enrollment at GPHS is 1775 students; however, the new facility was constructed to house approximately 1800 students.
