Amherst Regional High School (ARHS) is located in Amherst, Nova Scotia. The school delivers classes from Grade 9 to 12 as well as OPP (Occupational Preparedness Program).
The first ARHS location opened in 1893 on Spring Street. It closed in 2000 when the "new" Amherst Regional High School opened on Willow Street. The new ARHS was the last of the "Private Partner" schools in Nova Scotia.
The new location includes a regulation high school gymnasium and a 493-seat auditorium.
