Firelands High School is a public high school in Henrietta Township, near Oberlin, Ohio, in the United States.

Firelands High School absorbed South Amherst High School and its school district during the summer of 1988.[3]

The school serves the townships of Brownhelm, Camden, Florence (in Erie County), Henrietta, New Russia, and the village of South Amherst.[4]

The school's official colors are red and white, and their athletics teams are known as the Falcons. School colors often include black, but it is not an official school color.[5] Firelands won their lone team state championship in boys' cross country in 1982. The school is a member of the Stars division of the Lorain County League as of the 2019–2020 school year. Their primary rival is the Vermilion High School Sailors.
