Warwick School District is located in Lititz, Pennsylvania. The school district has a superintendent, assistant superintendent and a business manager. It serves Elizabeth Township, Warwick Township, and Lititz Borough. It contains six schools, which include Warwick High School, Warwick Middle School, John Beck Elementary School, John Bonfield Elementary School, Kissel Hill Elementary School and Lititz Elementary School.

Its school colors are red and black. Its mascot is the warrior. It is a member of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association competing in Class AAA in most sports.

In 2005, Warwick High School's boys' soccer team won the Class AAA championship in the Pennsylvania state tournament, defeating the West Chester Henderson Warriors 1-0.

In May, 2007, Warwick High School sparked minor controversy when it denied students the right to form a Gay Straight Alliance after-school club. The school has since allowed the GSA to take place, but doesn't advertise it and tends to ignore that it exists.^{[citation needed]}
