Yukon High School is a public high school in Yukon, Oklahoma. Yukon's quizbowl team first appeared at the 2010 iteration of Timberwolf Invitational, and went on to win back-to-back NAQT State Championships in 2011 and 2012. Yukon remained a regular at local tournaments until 2016, when their participation in good quizbowl tournaments lapsed. After a five-year hiatus from pyramidal quizbowl, Yukon returned in the 2021-22 season, and would go on win the Large School division of the 2023 NAQT State Championship, before defeating OSSM in an exhibition final to claim the school's third overall state championship. In 2024, they would repeat as NAQT state champions, as well as claim their first OSSAA State Championship victory, becoming only the second team in the state's history to win both titles in the same year (after Edmond Memorial in 2002).

The school has a rivalry with nearby El Reno, however, Yukon dominates this series.
