Rittman High School is a public high school in Rittman, Ohio, United States. It is the only high school in the Rittman Exempted Village Schools district. They are nicknamed the "Indians", which comes from the old Rittman Chippewa Salt Company's (now known as Morton Salt Company) logo of a Native American's head.[2] Red and white were the school colors until 1940 when black was added.[2]

A new high school was built and opened in 2011 on the same property as the previous building.[3]

Rittman's football rivalry with the Chippewa High School Chipps is the longest-running uninterrupted rivalry in Wayne County, having met every year since 1923.[2] The football rivalry with the Dalton High School Bulldogs is also the fourth most-played rivalry in Wayne County as well.[2]
