Yes, but only if it pertains to possible misapplication or misinterpretation of a rule - not for judgement calls.

NFHS Rule 11‐3‐1 – Reviewing Decisions
Correct protocol for reviewing a decision by a referee that may have resulted in an incorrect decision
is as follows:
 The head coach may request a time‐out (during the dead ball immediately following the rule in
dispute).
 The head coach and R2 may approach the R1 on the stand after the time‐out is granted.
 If the ruling is altered the time‐out is then charged to the official and the revision made.
 Decisions based on the judgment of the referees are final and not subject to review (11‐3‐3).
