Lakota West High School is a four-year, public high school in West Chester Township, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It is a member of the Lakota Local School District, which comprises both West Chester Township and Liberty Township. The district was originally unified under one high school, Lakota High School, until 1997 when the district expanded and formed two new high schools – Lakota West and Lakota East. Enrollment for Lakota West exceeds 2,500 students, and the school's radio station, WLHS 89.9 FM, is a remnant of the former high school and is staffed by students from both Lakota East and Lakota West.
The OHSAA Division 1 school's mascot is the Firebird, derived from the former district's mascot, the Thunderbird, and the school colors are red and white with black trim. Sports teams compete as a member of the Greater Miami Conference (GMC). The school year is divided into two semesters with two quarters each.
