South Portland High School is a public high school located in South Portland, Maine, United States.
The first high school in what is now South Portland was built in 1874 while the City was part of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The school was on the 2nd floor of a new municipal building built in 1874 until that building burnt down in 1921. The current building on Highland Avenue was erected in 1952, with a gymnasium added in 1958, an annex in 1962, and an auditorium and cafeteria in 1997.[2] It was originally built for middle (then “junior high”) school students until the high school and middle school switched building in 1960.[3]
