North Atlanta High School is a high school of approximately 1,300 students in Buckhead, an upscale area of Atlanta, Georgia. The school is a part of Atlanta Public Schools.

The school was formed after North Fulton High School combined with Northside High School in the 1991-1992 school year. The school has two magnet schools: one consisting of a performing arts program and one geared toward international studies. Students in the 11th and 12th grade have the option of studying in the International Baccalaureate program.

The class of 2007-08 represents the last magnet class in the arts. New students wishing to concentrate in the arts will continue to be able to do so. The new model for North Atlanta and all APS high schools will be organized as Small Learning Communities. The Center for the Arts is a Small Learning Community. The enrollment in the Center for the Arts will consist of students zoned for North Atlanta High School with some exceptions. The course offerings and the standard of excellence will continue in the Center for the Arts. The other 2 Small Learning Communities are The Center for International Studies (which maintains magnet status) and The Business, Hospitality and Leadership Small Learning Community. Students in the other Small Learning Communities can also take arts classes. All three Small Learning Communities have an enrollment of approximately 400 students.

As of 2007 the principal is Mark Mygrant.
