West Chester East High School (colloquially referred to simply as East or WC East) is a public four-year high school located in West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States.

Established in 1973 as the second high school in the West Chester Area School District (along with Henderson High School), East is one of three high schools currently operating in the West Chester area (the third being Rustin High School, which opened in 2006). Newsweek ranked East 420 out of the top 1,000 high schools in America in 2015. East also earned a rank of 36 in Philadelphia Magazine's overview of the best 100 public schools in the Philadelphia area in 2012.

In 2009, West Chester East had a student body of approximately 1470 students. Students who attend J.R. Fugett Middle School attend East. Fugett draws its student body from East Goshen Elementary, Exton Elementary, Glen Acres Elementary, and part of Fern Hill Elementary.

East’s athletic teams compete as the Vikings in the Ches-Mont League, a District One affiliate of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.

West Chester East High School is located at the corner of Ellis Lane and Paoli Pike, on the border of West Goshen Township and East Goshen Township, just east of the borough of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The building itself (which is connected directly to Fugett Middle School) is located in West Goshen, as are the school's numerous athletic fields, which include the football Stadium. The baseball and softball fields compete across Ellis Lane on Price Fields at West Chester East, located in East Goshen Township, which were constructed in 2003.
