Port Huron High School (PHHS) was founded in 1868, and has been in continuous operation as a secondary school in Port Huron, Michigan since then.

Port Huron High School was originally located at what is now the site of St. Clair Community College. The original building was built in 1870, then rebuilt in 1874 and 1908 after it was twice destroyed in fires. In 1957, the high school moved to its current location and building.{{Cite web |last=Hayes |first=Joseph |date=2024-07-25 |title=Historical properties highlight the history of the Blue Water Area |url=https://www.secondwavemedia.com/the-keel/features/Historical-Architecture.aspx |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=The Keel |language=en}}
