William Rennick Boone High School is a public high school in Orlando, Florida. Built in 1952, the school is one of twenty-two high schools in the Orange County Public Schools system.

Two new high schools, Orlando North and Orlando South, were built after World war II to take the place of Orlando High School (which was converted into what is now Howard Middle School). The last principal of Orlando High School, William R. Boone (1892-1952), died of a heart condition before the two new schools were opened in 1952, so the school board dedicated one of the high schools in his memory, then christened Orlando North as Edgewater High School after its surrounding community.[2]
