Sherando High School is a public secondary school within Frederick County, Virginia, and is part of Frederick County Public Schools. The school is located east of the town of Stephens City.

Sherando High School was opened in August 1993 as the second high school in Frederick County. It was built to help alleviate crowding at James Wood High School, which was the sole high school in the county at the time. The first principal was Dr. John W. Frossard, assisted by Assistant Principals Gary V. Tisinger and Joseph J. Swack. The latter succeeded Frossard as principal. The school was named after one of the historic Iroquoian-speaking Native American tribes in the Shenandoah Valley.

The current principal is Mark Gormley. Assistant Principals are Logan Sheppard, Karen McCoy, and Joanne Altendorf. Eli Jordan is the Director of Guidance. Jason Barbe is the Coordinator of Student Activities, with Susan Saylor being the Assistant Coordinator of Student Activities.
