Greenfield High School is a public high school in Greenfield, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, located at 4800 S. 60th Street (the intersection of Layton Avenue and South 60th Street). Established in 1957, GHS represents one of the three school districts within the city of Greenfield (the other two being Whitnall and West Allis-West Milwaukee). It is a four-year public high school accredited by North Central Accrediting Association (NCA) and runs on a 50 minute, seven-period, two-semester schedule. The staff of 76 teachers, three guidance counselors, three administrators, one school sociologist, one school psychologist, and 43 support staff serve approximately 1200 students.
GHS is a member of the WIAA and the Woodland Conference for athletics, and offers 10 boys' sports and 9 girls' sports. GHS extra-curricular organizations include National Honor Society, DECA, and YESS, as well as about 10 other clubs, including the Environmental Club, R.C. Club, Rocket Club, Film Society, the Air Force JROTC Program, and Outdoor Adventure Club.
Greenfield's long time athletic rivals are the Greendale High School Panthers and the crosstown rivals Whitnall High School Falcons, who joined Greenfield in the Woodland Conference in the 1997-98 school year.
In 2010, construction of the new Greenfield High School was completed. A new academic wing was built to replace the old, outdated wing from the original school. In addition, a brand new gymnasium was built, but not replacing the classic "Hawk Dome". The "Hawk Dome" Gymnasium was not remodeled, and currently is not regularly maintained. A natatorium was built with its ribon cutting on January 8, 2010. The new high school costs the City of Greenfield approximately $41 million to build. The high school includes a school store, a remodeled cafeteria, fitness center, and more. Outside of Greenfield High School, there is a track, along with tennis courts and baseball, soccer, and football fields. In addition to the high school, the Greenfield Board of Education built a new district office on the premises of Greenfield High School, where board meetings are now held.
On June 21, 2011 the new baseball field was rededicated to Greenfield High School Alumni Bob Wieland who was severely injured in Vietnam. Wieland made a personal appearance at the dedication.
