Asquith High School

Asquith High School (abbreviated as AHS and formerly known as Asquith Girls High School) is a government-funded comprehensive co-education secondary day school located on Stokes Avenue, Asquith, an upper north shore suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1959 to replace the Hornsby Home Science School, the school enrolled approximately 597 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom two percent identified as Indigenous Australians and 30 percent were from a language background other than English. The school is operated by the NSW Department of Education in accordance with a curriculum developed by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority; the principal is Elizabeth Amvrazis.

History In February 1958, the NSW Department of Education acquired a site in eastern Asquith for a new girls high school to replace the Hornsby Home Science School (established 1947) that was destroyed with other school buildings on Peats Ferry Road in a bushfire in 1957. Asquith Girls High School officially commenced operation from 1 January 1959.

As of 2026, the school is co-ed and has been renamed to Asquith High School. Its former sister school, Asquith Boys High School, became co-ed in the same year and was renamed to Hornsby High School.
