Catholic Public High School, commonly known as Sangota Public School, is a private Catholic primary and secondary school for girls in Sangota, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.^[1] It was established in 1962 under the direction of the Diocese of Islamabad-Rawalpindi and was renowned for being the center of quality education in the entire Malakand region. Most of the teachers were Irish Sisters of the Presentation who had devoted their lives to educating Swat's children.

A co-education system was in place until the 1990s but after the establishment of Excelsior College, the boys were shifted there and from then onwards only girls were admitted to the school. The school was forced to close between 2009 and 2012 due to threats of fundamentalist Islamic suicide attacks and damage from bombings.
