      • Waltham High School is a public high school located in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States. It is the only high school operated by Waltham Public Schools.


      History


      The current Waltham High School was finished being constructed in 2024.
      In 2018, Waltham Public Schools exercised eminent domain to buy land for a new Waltham High School. A $374 million loan for a new high school project was approved in 2019; it was the largest loan in Massachusetts history for a public high school. Construction started in September 2020, and the new high school was finished before the 2024–2025 school year. The school was originally slated to open for the 2020-21 school year before numerous issues in the site plan, acquisition, design and construction processes shifted the opening date back.


      Athletics


      In 1906 and 1907, the Waltham football team was undefeated, although there was no organized playoff structure.


      Performing arts


      Waltham fields two competitive show choirs, the mixed-gender "Music Unlimited" and the all-female "Music Express". The school previously also had a lower-level mixed-gender group, "Music Odyssey". The program hosts an annual competition, the Eastern Show Choir Festival.
