Ottawa Township High School, or Ottawa High School, is a high school located at 211 E. Main St. in Ottawa, IL. Its athletic teams, known as the Pirates, compete in the North Central Illinois Conference.

It is famous for being the shortest "nine-story" building in the United States, and perhaps the only one in which the sixth story is higher than the eighth story.

Each building consists of three stories or floors. The Main building is the first building you see upon approaching the school. It contains floors 100, 200, and 300 as well as the main offices, pool and the library. Its classes are mostly vocational (office / home eceonomics)in nature but also has some English and Math. The Manual Arts Building is to the east of the main building and has floors 400, 500, and 600 as well as the cafeteria and Kingman Gymnasium. This building is devoted to the social sciences and manual arts as well as the special education program. The MacRae Shannon Building is named for a former principal and is the newest building. It is located behind the Main building and contains floors 700, 800, and 900. This building tends to house the majority of the Science, Math, and English classes as well as music and fine arts.
