Most high school algebra books show a proof (by contradiction) that the square root of 2 is irrational. The same proof can easily be adapted to the square root of any positive integer, that is not a perfect square. You can find the proof (for the square root of 2) on the Wikipedia article on "irrational number", near the beginning of the page (under "History").
