Bonners Ferry High School serves the entire community of Boundary County, Idaho: the northernmost county in the state. The approximately 500 students come from an area larger than the state of Rhode Island.

The school is renowned for its wrestling program, under coach Conrad Garner. It produces state champions basically every year. The Cross Country Program under Paul Bonnel is also highly renowned. The football team has also had great success, with the 1996 team winning the Intermountain League title, and the 2004 team also winning the leage championship, and continuing on to the state semi-finals, the farthest any Bonners Ferry team has ever gotten in Idaho Football.

The school has problems with finances on a regular basis, with school levies a consistent source of anxiety for the town.

The school has also become controversial within the community in recent years as a result of allegations of improper behavior among members of the faculty, particularly administrators. However, there are numerous teachers who have been given honors and awards for the good jobs they have done.

The high shool has a four day week, as does the rest of the county school district.

The school is also well known in North Idaho for having "Senior Keggers" each spring, where the senior class throws a party at locations out in the woods. There are tickets sold, and multiple hundreds of attendees.

There is a winter formal each year, and a Prom.

Dropout rates have increased in the years since the last administrative change in 2004, and each freshmen class usually ends up with a less than 75% grraduation rate by the end of their senior year.
