Shawnee Mission North High School is a public secondary school in Overland Park, Kansas, United States, for grades 912. It is one of five high schools operated by Shawnee Mission USD 512 school district.

The school colors are Cardinal red, Black and White and the school mascot is the Bison.[8] The average annual enrollment is approximately 2,000 students.

Shawnee Mission North High School was founded in 1922 in order to help educate the increasing number of students due to the emerging population of Shawnee Mission. Throughout the years, several expansions and add-ons were constructed to the school. In 1950, a large addition was added, finally connecting all of the buildings through hallways. A swimming pool and science wing were constructed in 1969 which connected to the south academic wing. A new library was added in the summer of 1997. In 2007, the school added a new auxiliary gym, new tennis courts, pool and auditorium remodeling, two new Biology classrooms, and expansion of the band and choir department.

Shawnee Mission North is a member of the Kansas State High School Activities Association and offers a variety of sports programs. Athletic teams compete in the 6A division and are known as the Bison.[8] Extracurricular activities are also offered in the form of performing arts, school publications, and clubs.
