      • Hobart City High School is a government co-educational high school in New Town, Hobart. Hobart City High School was formed in 2022 when Oglivie High School and New Town High School merged. The merged schools are now co-educational and were the last of Tasmania's single-sex public schools. Hobart City High caters for approximately 1200 students from Years 7 to 12. It is administered by the Tasmanian Department of Education.
      Hobart City High School has two main campuses called Oglivie and New Town to recognise the previous schools. In 2022, the school's first lead principal was Deb Day. As of 2024, the current lead principal is Britany Roestenburg.

      Oglivie was established in 1937 as New Town Commercial High School as a selective co-educational school, designed for studying commerce. Three years later, it was renamed A.G. Ogilvie High School in honour of Albert Ogilvie, the Premier of Tasmania, who died in 1939.
      In 1963, Oglivie became Tasmania's first all-girls' public high school.
      In 2010, Oglivie underwent renovations to create a student centre which received the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2011 Tasmanian Architecture Awards and the Alan C. Walker Award for Public Architecture 2011.
