Frank Church High School is an alternative public secondary school in Boise, Idaho, operated by the Boise School District. Opened in 2008,[2] it was formed from the merger of Mountain Cove High School and Fort Boise Mid High School.[3] It serves grades 9–12, with the majority of the enrollment in the upper grades.[4]

The school is located in southwest Boise, immediately east of the new West Junior High School, also opened in 2008.
