Hereford High School is a four-year public high school located in the rural northern Baltimore County town of Parkton, Maryland, United States, as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS). The secondary school was established in 1953.

The school's district is the Hereford Zone. The Hereford Zone covers 233 square miles (600 km2) and makes up over a third of Baltimore County by area.[3] Like those of most public schools in the region, Hereford students are transported by a busing system.

Hereford is notable for its agriscience program. It was the only one of its kind among the county's public high schools. Hereford's base feeder school, Hereford Middle School, also has a smaller agricultural program.[4]
