Haverhill High School (HHS) is a public high school in Haverhill, Massachusetts, United States. It is part of the Haverhill Public Schools district and is open enrollment.[2]

History

[edit]

At least three buildings have served as Haverhill High School. A now-demolished building designed by George M. Harding opened in 1874.[3] Another building designed by C. Willis Damon opened in 1909. At present, that building serves as the Haverhill City Hall.[4]

Haverhill High School opened on Monument Street in 1963, with the first class to graduate being the class of 1964.[5]


On February 26, 2024, Haverhill High School became the first school in the United States to take a live online tour of Auschwitz. The virtual tour called "Auschwitz in Front of Your Eyes" features recorded testimonies from concentration camp survivors, as well as a live tour with a guide who walks through the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps, giving a detailed description and view of the camps.[6]

Athletics

[edit]

Haverhill High School competes in the Merrimack Valley Conference and is a member of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA).[7]
