Butte County High School is a high school in Arco, Idaho, the seat of Butte County. Despite its extremely small size—the school had an enrollment of 166 students in 2004/5[2]—the school has won multiple awards and championships in interscholastic competition.

Extracurricular activities

The school's debate teams have won state championships in 1967 (Class A Open) 1965 and 1966 (Class B Girls), and in 1974, 1978 and 1982.[3]
