Souhegan High School is a high school located in Amherst, New Hampshire. Students from Amherst and Mont Vernon attend Souhegan for 9th through 12th grades. The 2004-2005 school year saw an enrollment of 1,044 students. The name is derived from the Souhegan River, which adjoins the school property.
The school opened in 1992, after the two towns separated from the school district based in neighboring Milford. It was established as part of the Coalition of Essential Schools, using a philosophy that emphasizes cooperation between students and faculty, most notably reflected in the fact that teachers are called by their first names.
Souhegan's School newspaper is called the Saber Scribe.
It is part of the SAU-39 school district, which includes the middle and elementary schools in Amherst and Mont Vernon.
