Governor Wallace Rider Farrington High School is a public grades 9–12 high school located in the Kalihi district of Honolulu on the island of [[Oahu|OШаблон:Okinaahu]], [[Hawaii|HawaiШаблон:Okinai]], United States.

The school is named after the late Wallace Rider Farrington, the sixth governor of the [[Territory of Hawaii|Territory of HawaiШаблон:Okinai]], who served from 1921 to 1929.
