Cherry Hill High School East (also known as Cherry Hill East or CHE) is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades in Cherry Hill, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Cherry Hill Public Schools. The school opened in 1967 as the township's second high school; what then became known as Cherry Hill High School West was the first public high school in Cherry Hill. The first class graduated in June 1970, having started their freshman year in the Fall of 1966 in the West building doing split sessions until the East building was ready for occupancy in January 1967. The class of 1970 was the only class in the new building until the class of 1971 arrived in Fall 1967. By Fall 1969, the building housed all four grades. The school is one of three high schools in the district; the others are Cherry Hill High School West and Cherry Hill Alternative High School.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,159 students and 132.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.3:1. There were 209 students (9.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 76 (3.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
For the 2001–02 school year, Cherry Hill High School East received the National Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence from the United States Department of Education, the highest honor that an American school can achieve.
