Duluth Central High School, also referred to as Central High School, was a secondary school in Duluth, Minnesota. It educated students in grades ten through twelve and later added seventh and eighth grades after the closure of Washington Junior High School in 1992. The original building at the intersection of Lake Avenue and Second Street first opened in 1893. On October 19, 2004, the building was given the official name, Historic Old Central High School.[2]

In 1971, a new Central High School building was erected near the Central Entrance and Pecan Avenue. At the end of the 2010-2011 school year, the new Duluth Central High School closed its doors.
