Portsmouth High School (PHS) is a public high school in Portsmouth, Scioto County, Ohio, United States. PHS's mascot are the Trojans, and their school colors are red and blue.

PHS has served the city since its founding in the 1830s and is the public high school in the city. Portsmouth City School District is notable for having a storied basketball tradition. In 2000, Portsmouth voters passed a much needed school bond issue, which helped construct new schools for the district. The new schools opened for the 2006-2007 school year. These schools won the Grand Prize from School Planning & Management's 2007 Education Design Showcase. The award is awarded annually to the K-12 school that displays "excellence in design and functional planning directed toward meeting the needs of the educational program."[2][3] In addition, the school system is in the finishing stages of building a $10 million athletic complex. It includes a new football field, baseball field, softball field, and track.[4]
