Wells High School is a public secondary school located in Wells, Maine. It has a population of approximately 500 students in grades 9 through 12, and approximately 50 faculty members. The school primarily serves students from Wells, as well as a small number of students from Ogunquit. Until recently, Wells High School also served students from the town of Acton.

The school mascot is the Warrior and the title of the yearbook is Abenaki. Both names reflect the significance of Native Americans in the history of Wells. The school colors are red, white, and black. The journalism class publishes a monthly school newspaper called Wells Street Journal.

Wells High School celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2003 -- which was also the 350th anniversary of Wells.

The building that currently houses Wells High School was constructed in 1977 at 200 Sanford Road (Route 109). The former high school building, built in 1937 and located on Post Road, became a junior high school in 1978. The 1977 building vaguely resembles the letter "W" when viewed from the air.
