J. W. Mitchell High School (also called Mitchell or JWMHS), is a public high school in New Port Richey, Florida, located next to Seven Springs Middle School. Its current principal is Jessica Schultz. It is one of the largest schools in the Pasco County Schools district.

J. W. Mitchell High School opened at the start of the 2000-01 school year, designed to relieve overcrowding at River Ridge and Gulf High Schools. Its first graduating class was in 2002. The school is named for James Mitchell, a rancher, community leader and businessman. His wife Dorothy served on the school board for about 20 years.

The Mustangs were the state boys soccer champs in 2009-10. The hockey team was the state champion for 2011-12.

Mitchell offers a wide range of classes, including dual-enrollment through Pasco–Hernando State College, Advanced Placement, and through F. K. Marchman Technical Center.
