Anna High School is a public high school in Anna, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Anna Local Schools district, which is predominantly rural. Agriculture is a major occupation among district residents, with many others working in factory production, retail businesses, and at the Honda Anna Engine Plant. A large percentage of the school district's tax revenues are received from Honda, so it is the primary tax contributor in the school district and is crucial to the district's financial stability.

Anna students regularly score above state and national standards on standardized tests, and ACT scores are regularly above the national average.

Anna Schools are expanding in the use of technology in its schools with students regularly using many different technologies for school work. The elementary school was designed with such technology in mind and has the wiring capability built-in to expand on that technology as new developments occur. Both district buildings are networked, have fiber-optic cables connecting the two buildings, and have access to distance learning.

The Anna Rockets are primarily members of the Shelby County Athletic League, but are football members of the Midwest Athletic Conference.
