Newburyport High School (NHS) is a public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades in Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States and is part of the Newburyport Public School System. It was established in 1831 and is one of the oldest public schools in the United States of America.

History

In 1868, the Latin and English High School (1831), later called the Brown High School (1851); the Putnam Free School (1838);[4] and the Female High School (1843) merged to form the Consolidated High and Putnam School. In 1889, the name changed to Newburyport High School.[5]

The current site of Newburyport High School was purchased from Alice Atkinson in 1935, and the deed was recorded at the Southern Essex County Registry of Deeds as Book 3030, Page 279 in March 1935.
