Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School is a comprehensive public high school located in Kalgoorlie, a regional centre 595 kilometres (370 mi) east of Perth, Western Australia. Along with Eastern Goldfields College the school was formerly known as Eastern Goldfields Senior High School until the campuses were separated.
The school was established in 2006 and caters for students from Year 7 to Year 10. Enrolments at the school have fluctuated with total enrolment of 847 students in 2007 to 775 in 2008, to 661 in 2009, to 510 in 2010, then 540 in 2011 and 597 in 2012.
Paul Matthews was the inaugural principal and was followed by Terry Martino in 2010.
Early in 2012 the school received a commendation award from the local chamber of commerce. The deputy principal, Vicki Bogensperger, accepted the award on behalf of Terry Martino and remarked "We are on an improvement journey at Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School and in a sense, the work will never be complete." Later the same year the school was reviewed by Expert Review Group appointed by the Department of Education. The director of the group commented on the dramatic improvements at the school in the areas of uniform, behaviour and mobile phone policy. The director, Brett Hunt, also commented "The school’s environment has a long history of being unsettled, but we found the current team has focused on developing a welcoming, structured and predictable environment for everyone."
Terry Martino moved to Northam Senior High School in 2013 and was replaced by the deputy principal Vicki Bogensperger.
Ian Masarei was appointed as principal in 2016.
The school had many reported incidents of violence in 2009 between indigenous and Maori students, resulting in cultural advisors being employed to tackle the problem.
