Hastings Boys' High School is a boys' secondary school in Hastings, New Zealand.

These houses compete in many sporting events with each other throughout the year.
Students at Hastings Boys' High School organised a conference in 1999 to consider cloning the Huia, their school emblem.[1][2] The Maori tribe Ngati Huia agreed, in principle, to support the endeavour, which would be carried out at the University of Otago, and a California-based Internet start-up volunteered $100,000 of funding.[3] However, as of 2008, the cloning has not taken place.
