Hamilton Senior High School, also often referred to as Hamilton Hill Senior High School, was a public co-educational high school in Western Australia. The school was located on Purvis Street in the suburb of Hamilton Hill.
The school was established in 1962 and catered for students in Year 7 to 12.
The school enrolled 696 students in 2007, 675 in 2008, 711 in 2009, then fell to 622 in 2010 and to 580 in 2011. The fall in student numbers from 2010 is a result of the enrolment age changing for students entering high school in Western Australia.
The school suffered an arson attack in 2010 when a metal shed was set alight causing A$100,000 in damage.
Plans to close the school and merge students with South Fremantle Senior High School as a new school were announced in December 2014. The larger number of students would allow for more opportunities and subjects for students. The school was closed permanently at the end of the 2017 school year. Students from the school will join students at the South Fremantle site in 2018 to form Fremantle College. Hamilton Senior High School will be demolished and the land sold for housing.
