School's Out is a single by the band GWAR. It was the first release from their 2006 album Beyond Hell and is a cover of the 1972 song by the same name by Alice Cooper. It was released as a digital download through services such as iTunes and eMusic, and as a promotional CD sent to radio stations.

The band has stated in several interviews that they hadn't intended on recording a cover song for Beyond Hell, but the record company insisted that they do a cover that might get some airplay, and would be accessible to a wider audience than their first choice for a single, Eighth Lock.
