New Albany High School is a public high school located in New Albany, Indiana, United States. Founded on October 3, 1853, as Scibner High School, it was renamed. New Albany High school is the oldest public high school in the state of Indiana. The school was closed from 1859 to 1864 to be made into a hospital for union soldiers during the American Civil War. The old Scribner High School became Scribner High School for Negroes after state law required schools for African Americans. After the local schools were integrated in the early 1950s it closed and was demolished in 1959.
The school was the first FM high school radio station (88.1) to be licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and has had its own Public-access television cable TV channel WNAS-TV since 1980. It is a part of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corporation.
The school serves New Albany and surrounding unincorporated areas.
