Parramatta High School (PHS) is a public, co-educational high school located in Parramatta, a western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1913, Parramatta High School was the first co-educational school in the Sydney Metropolitan area. The school was previously a selective high school(and a pre-school at one point), and in 2010 its to become a semi-selective in the Parramatta region.

The life and blood of Parramatta High School can be seen through two important staff members, Mr Salmon (Deputy Principle) and Mrs Koglous (Head Teacher). The school constantly rated poorly in the HSC before the introduction of Mr Salmon and Mrs Koglous. This is evidently seen in the 2006 papers compared to the 2007 papers.

The current SGR Representitive is Andrew Hong.
