Northumberland Regional High School (NRHS) is a secondary school located in Alma, outside Westville, Nova Scotia, Canada. The school's official colours are red, white and black. The mascot for the school is a bird, specifically a Nighthawk named Squawk. The sports teams from NRHS are called the Northumberland Nighthawks.

Students that attend the school come from the Pictou area, the town of Stellarton and also from Westville. The school was founded in 2003, replacing West Pictou District High, Stellarton High School, and Westville High School.

With the help of Stephanie Rae-Cameron and former principal Preston Lockhart NRHS now has one of the largest and most active Student’s Council in Nova Scotia, if not Canada. The Students Council has over 80 members who raise between 12 and 15 thousand dollars a year for the community. The Council also purchases sports facilities, supports dances and many other fun events in the school. With the promotion of Preston Lockhart to Human Resources Director for CCRSB and Stephanie Rae-Cameron receiving a administration position at West Pictou, Ruth-Ann Murry will being leading the council into the 2006-2007 school year.
