Provo High School is a public secondary school located in Provo, Utah, United States. It is one of three high schools in the Provo City School District and is the oldest secondary school in the city.
Provo High School was founded in 1912. It did not graduate its first students until 1921. The students originally met at Provo Center School before a specific high school building was built in 1920. The current Provo High School was built in 1956.
In December 2015, the Provo City School District voted to sell the 25 acre property where Provo High School stands and move to a location in the western side of the city, rather than rebuild on the current site. It was later revealed that nearby Brigham Young University was purchasing the land for $25 million. The new high school site will be located on a 42-acre plot at 1300 N. Lakeshore Drive. The layout will include three-stories, three classroom wings, and two gymnasiums. The first semester at the new location is planned for Fall 2018.
The Provo High soccer team were the 3-A State Champions in 1988 and reached the semi-finals in 2007 and 2015.

The team accomplished the feat on January 22, 1997 against its cross-town rival Timpview High School. Provo High won its only state title in wrestling in 1970. In 2004 the team won the 4A Duals, an unofficial state title in the dual meet format.
