Washington High School is a public high school in Washington, Iowa, United States. It serves students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the Washington Community School District and competes athletically in the Southeast Conference. The school operates on a block schedule of four 86-minute periods, with the academic year divided into four terms.

History Washington High School was established in 1912. Its historic building, completed in 1918, housed the high school until 2012, when the high school and the district's middle school exchanged buildings; the high school moved into a newly constructed facility on the same campus.

In March 2023, the district began a two-phase, approximately $26 million expansion and renovation project intended to return the middle school to the high school campus. The first phase, which added a two-story classroom wing, a culinary classroom, an art room, and an additional gymnasium, opened for the 2024–2025 school year. The second phase, a renovation of the building's east wing, was scheduled for completion in 2025.
