Henry Street High School is located in Whitby, Ontario, within the Durham District School Board. The school offers programs for students in grades 9–12 and a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities.
A large event during the spring is "Rivalry Week". Held for one week each year it represents the athletic rivalry between Henry Street High School and Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute (another local high school). Henry Street won the inaugural event in 2009, Anderson won the event in 2010 and 2011, and the Mayor's Cup is residing at Henry Street after their win in 2012.
The school was originally known as "Whitby District High School"; the name was changed after the opening of Whitby's second high school, Anderson, in 1960.
