Port Chester High School is a public high school in Port Chester, New York, United States. It is the sole senior high school of the Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District, and its principal is Luke Sotherden. The school is ranked 134th in the state and 1,481st in the United States, according to the U.S. News & World Report "Best High Schools" rankings from 2018.
The school was founded in 1929. The building, on the former grounds of a country club, was designed by Tooker & Marsh in "Harvard" style with a prominent clock tower, and completed in 1932. As constructed, it contained 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2) of space including a 94 by 72 feet (29 m × 22 m) gymnasium, a 1250-seat auditorium, 38 classrooms, two study halls, four shops, and a model apartment for homemaking classes. The building had radio equipment and an electric fire alarm system, and all its clocks were synchronized to an electric master clock.
The district (and therefore the high school's attendance boundary) is located within portions of the Town of Rye. All of Port Chester is in the district. About 30% of the village of Rye Brook is in the district, and the remainder is in the Blind Brook School District.
