Gosford High School (abbreviation GHS) is a public, co-educational, academically selective high school located in Gosford, New South Wales, Australia with 1080 students from Year 7 to Year 12.
Gosford High School, operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities, was established in 1928, the first secondary school in the region, and became a selective high school in 1989. The original building was completed in 1929, and consisted of seven classrooms, one science laboratory and an assembly room. Students at the school primarily come from the Central Coast region, though students from the Sydney and Lake Macquarie regions comprise a significant portion of the population. Currently, Gosford High is the only fully selective school on the Central Coast, making admission very competitive.
The school's Latin motto is spectemur agendo, which is conventionally translated into English as "Judge me by what I do." Other translations include Let us be judged by our acts and By our deeds may we be known (this translation is preferred by Camberwell Grammar School in Melbourne, which shares the same motto).
The principal of Gosford High School from 2006 to 2016 was Lynne Searle. She was replaced in 2017 by Tony Rudd, the former principal of Manly Selective Campus. The Years 7, 9 and 11 deputy principal is Mr Gary Bennett while the Years 8,10 and 12 deputy principal is Ms Rebecca Cooper.
