Anthony A. Henninger High School /ˈhɛnɪŋɡər/ is a high school in the Syracuse City School District. Henninger is the largest of the four high schools in this district with a student population of approximately 1,800 people.

Henninger High School was built in the mid 1960s in order to merge two institutions in the area, North High School and Eastwood High School. The latter was in a neighborhood that was once a village and was later annexed by the city of Syracuse.

Originally, the school was going to be named Northeast High. However, by the time the school was finished, it was decided that the school would be named after the current mayor of Syracuse, Anthony A. Henninger.

The Henninger High School campus is home to a variety of facilities. The auditorium, once the temporary home of the now-defunct Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, was built to have excellent acoustics and seats around 950 people. The athletic complex includes two recently built turf fields, six tennis courts, two softball fields, one baseball field, four basketball courts, a quarter-mile track surrounding the main football field, an indoor pool, the Sunnycrest Ice Skating Rink and the Sunnycrest Golf Course.

Henninger participates in both boys and girls Section III, Class AA athletics. Henninger has many athletic programs including boys' basketball, football, lacrosse, bowling, soccer, tennis, hockey (through Corcoran High School), swimming (through Corcoran and Nottingham High Schools), golf and track as well as girls' basketball, soccer, swimming, volleyball, tennis, bowling, lacrosse, track and crew (with Corcoran and Nottingham High Schools).
