Rotorua Boys' High School is a state school educating boys from Year 9 to Year 13. It is situated just outside of the Rotorua CBD at the intersection of Old Taupo Road and Pukuatua Street in Rotorua, New Zealand.
It is notable for considerable sporting success, having won on several occasions the New Zealand and World secondary school championships in rugby and the world secondary school golf championship in consecutive years. The school has also produced national rowing champions in the under 15 quadruple sculls (2003, 2004), under 16 quadruple sculls (2004) and under 17 eights (2007). In 2008 a new centre for leadership was opened, headed by Clayton MacMillan, former representative rugby player for New Zealand Maori and the Bay of Plenty Steamers.
The Ministry of Education appointed a limited statutory manager late in 2009 to investigate alleged mismanagement, inappropriate drug-testing and financial issues regarding the school hostel. In June 2010 the limited statutory manager reported that, following his investigation, he had found that the school had no case to answer.

“Like other high subjects, the Law gives no ground to common sense.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
