Dunstan High School is a state secondary school located in Alexandra, in the Central Otago district in the South Island of New Zealand.

Dunstan High School also runs the Tititea Outdoor Education Centre,[4] which is located in the old homestead in the East Matukituki Valley on the outskirts of the Mount Aspiring National Park.

In 2009, the school installed an $800,000 clean-burning heating system, replacing a coal-fuelled system,[5] and constructed a new $2.3 million gymnasium.[6]
