Charlotte Amalie High School is a public high school located in the town area of the island of St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands; it is in the Charlotte Amalie area. It is a part of the St. Thomas-St. John School District.

CAHS was established in 1920 as a junior high school. In 1930, the first 12th grade class was added, and four students graduated in the class of 1931. It is popularly known as "High School" to older residents of St. Thomas, due to the fact that it was the first high school opened on the island. It was named after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Cassel, the queen consort of Denmark and Norway, (the wife of King Christian V). It is also noted for its intense rivalry with the Ivanna Eudora Kean High School, also known as the Devil Rays.
