Bedford High School is a public high school in the town of Bedford, New Hampshire. The high school adjoins the town's middle school (7th and 8th grades). The combined schools are situated on a 40-acre campus at 47 Nashua Road. The 2 schools share an 800-seat theatre, a 2000-seat gymnasium, a field turf football field and a synthetic 400 meter track. There is still extensive planning of the teaching style, the curriculum as a whole, and the class structure.

Bedford High School's mascot is the Bulldog, which was determined from a polling by the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in early 2006.

The school employs a two-level system based on a general consensus taken in the fall of 2006. The school also offers Advanced Placement courses. Starting in the 08-09 school year, the school will offer International Baccalaureate classes to juniors.

The high school started in the 2007-2008 school year, with a current enrollment of 550 students (freshman and sophomores only). In the fall of 2009, when all 4 grades will be at the school, the enrollment will be an estimated 1,200. Currently Bedford's juniors and seniors are tuitioned to Manchester West High School in an arrangement that has been ongoing since 1923.

The principal is George H. Edwards Jr., who was previously the principal at Bow High School in nearby Bow, New Hampshire.

The school has a budding sports program that includes a wide range of activities.
