Omar Bongo Technical High School (French: Lycée Technique Nationale Omar Bongo[1]) is situated in Libreville, Gabon.

It is among the largest secondary schools in Gabon with some 6,000 students. The technical school is named after Omar Bongo (1935 – 2009), former President of Gabon.

The school was temporarily shut down in January 2004 because of student lawlessness and the invasion of another school. A subsequent inquiry found that corruption and prostitution were endemic in the school.[2]
