Shiga Prefectural Ishiyama High School (Japanese: 滋賀県立石山高等学校) is a senior high school located in Ōtsu, Shiga, Japan. It is called Ishi-Kou as a term of endearment by the locals.

There are two courses at the school: Comprehensive Course ("普通科") and Musical Course ("音楽科"). This is the only high school in Shiga, which has the Musical Course.

About 1000 students are enrolled, and more than the half of them are female.

The school motto is "Independence and Autonomy" ("自主・自律"). Students are expected to discipline themselves. Therefore, there has not been any school rule about students' clothes and hairstyles even though most of Japanese schools set such rules.

The school song was composed by Yasuhiko Murachi.

It is famous for sending many students into university. The percentage of the students going on to university was 58.4% in 2004; and it was the fourth highest in Shiga.[1]
