Duncraig Senior High School is an independent public high school located 18 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia in the suburb of Duncraig. The current principal is Stephen Spice.
The school opened in 1979 with 850 students from various primary schools in the surrounding area. It currently has an average of 1060 students. The opening of Padbury Senior High School in 1987 reduced the number of contributing primary schools. At the closure of Craigie Senior High School in 2004 Duncraig took in year nine and ten students belonging to Craigie's Academic Talent Program.
During a freak storm in March 2010 the school was extensively damaged by hail and torrential rain. As a result, the school was closed for a week for all students. Senior school students then returned but students from Year 8 to 10 were not allowed back until late April following the first term holiday break.
Duncraig has a number of special programs running within the school, such as:
