Karns High School is a public high school in the Karns community of Knox County, Tennessee administered by the Knox County Schools public school district.

Since 1995, Karns High School has educated students in grades 9 through 12. In 2008, the school underwent construction to add additional cafeteria to serve the influx of new students.
