East Hampton High School is a high school in East Hampton, Suffolk County, New York, United States. Located on the east end of Long Island, the school is the easternmost high school in New York State. It is part of the East Hampton Union Free School District, but also educates students in the neighboring communities of Wainscott, Springs, Amagansett, and Montauk as a result of tuition contracts with the respective local school districts.[8]

In the 2019–2020 school year, the total enrollment was 920 students and the school had a four-year graduation rate of 82%.[3] The current principal is Sara Smith, a former assistant principal at Southampton High School.[3][5] Smith succeeded James Crenshaw, who resigned after one year to become assistant superintendent of Longwood Central School District further west on Long Island.[5]

The school's sports teams are known as the Bonackers, and the school colors are maroon and gray.
