Selby High School is a co-educational secondary school in North Yorkshire, England. It's main catchment area is the town of Selby and villages from the Selby District, including Thorpe Willoughby, Hambleton, Monk Fryston, Cawood and Wistow.

Selby High School links back to Selby Grammar School, founded in 1908 as an all-girls school. In 1968 the grammar school became coeducational, and in 1979, a mixed comprehensive school. The comprehensive was renamed Selby High School.

In 2003 Selby High School began fundraising towards securing specialist school status – the school was awarded specialist status in Performing and Visual Arts in 2005. Following this the school built a dance studio, a 200-seat theatre stand and an all weather pitch.^{[citation needed]} In January 2013 the school added an ICT suite with new computers.

In 2005 the school introduced a new house system with pupils from all year groups equally distributed into forms. The houses are named after significant Yorkshire people: Lesley Garrett (Garrett); David Hockney (Hockney); James Mason (Mason); and Michael Palin (Palin).
