Ernest Righetti High School (commonly Righetti, or RHS) is a public comprehensive secondary school in Santa Maria, California, United States, serving students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District. Righetti is a fully accredited, two-time California Distinguished School, awarded in 2002 and 2009.[6] Righetti High School was built in the suburban community of Orcutt, California in 1963 to relieve overcrowding at Santa Maria High School, opening in January 1963 and graduating its first class in June 1964.[7] The school was named for a local civic leader whose family has engaged in cattle ranching in the Santa Maria area for several generations.[8] The school's boundaries encompass several elementary school districts that serve the communities of Orcutt, Guadalupe, Los Alamos, Sisquoc, Garey, and Casmalia, as well portions of the city of Santa Maria and rural northern Santa Barbara County.[9]
Righetti High School maintains a large comprehensive array of academic and athletic programs, as well as several electives and vocational programs, and a renowned agricultural studies program. Academic performance standards have risen steadily since the early 2000s. As of the 2018-2019 school year, the school had an approximate enrollment of 2,301 students and 93 classroom teachers. The principal of Righetti High School is Mr. Ted Lyon.
Righetti High School is located on a sprawling 37 acres (15 ha) campus on a north-facing slope overlooking the Santa Maria Valley in the Los Padres foothills. Most of the permanent classrooms, laboratories, and shops are situated in four single story classroom 'blocks' with approximately 65 classrooms. Through the south-central side of the campus, the three classroom blocks are arranged in a line from west to east and consist of rooms that surround grassy courtyards. The Warrior Gym, the amphitheater-style Greek Theater, the quad, the career center, and the cafeteria all lie in a north–south arrangement roughly perpendicular to the three main classroom blocks. Staff and student parking surround the west and south sides of the campus. The Industrial Arts Building (The 400 Block), the Agricultural Unit, Warrior Gym, Rob Knight Pool, Warrior Stadium, and all athletic fields are situated down hill on the north end of campus. The school is known for having a Colorblind Club on campus. This club's inaugural year was 2017, and it has since been the most well known club on campus. The increase of student enrollment over the past 25 years has necessitated the placement of 35 portable structures that are now mostly situated in the eastern parking lot.
Since 1998, through state and local bond funding, Righetti has undergone extensive renovations and additions. Every permanent classroom on campus has been remodeled with new heat/circulation, flooring, ceilings, roofing, asbestos abatement, upgraded data ports, and ‘teaching walls’. With the approval of local voters, bond C2004 has provided RHS with realigned parking lots and electrical upgrades, a new synthetic track and turf field in Warrior Stadium, renovation of the Industrial Arts Building, two new classrooms, one of which is the wrestling room.[10] After many years of successful water polo and swimming programs, Righetti High School opened its first on-campus swimming pool, Rob Knight Pool, in September 2009.[11] The last phases of new construction will include a new three-story building that contains the math and English departments.

The school is situated across the street from one of its biggest rivals, St. Joseph High School.
