Port Chester High School II is a public high school in Port Chester, New York. It is the senior high school of the Port Chester-Rye Union Free School District and its principal is Mitchell Combs.
The school was founded in 1929. The building, on the former grounds of a country club, was designed by Tooker & Marsh in "Harvard" style with a prominent clock tower, and completed in 1932. As constructed, it contained 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2) of space including a 94 by 72 feet (29 m × 22 m) gymnasium, a 1250-seat auditorium, 38 classrooms, two study halls, four shops, and a model apartment for homemaking classes. The building had radio equipment and an electric fire alarm system, and all its clocks were synchronized to an electric master clock.
Both interiors and exteriors of Port Chester High School are used in the 2006 movie My Super Ex-Girlfriend.
The school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma in addition to Advanced Placement and college-level courses.
