Procter R. Hug High School is a fully accredited[3] public high school in Reno, Nevada, and belongs to the Washoe County School District. Hug High was built on a hillside in east Reno in 1968 to serve students from rapidly growing areas.

Like many other local schools, Hug High was named for a member of the local school board.[4] The high school was named for Procter Hug Sr., a college athlete, teacher, athletic coach and Washoe County School Superintendent[5] who went on after retirement to serve as a Nevada State Senator.[6] Hug High School relocated from 2880 Sutro Street to 3530 Sullivan Lane at the beginning of the 22-23 academic year.[7]
