Killingly High School is a public high school in Killingly, Connecticut, United States. The school reported 855 students and 68 FTE classroom teachers for the 2013–2014 school year.[1] Killingly High is the only public high school in the Killingly School District, which is on the eastern edge of Windham County. Since 2015, the school has also been the sole polling place in Killingly.[2]

In 2014 school officials began discussing changing the school's mascot name, The Redmen, in response to controversy over Native American mascots.[3]

Old Killingly High School was built in 1908 and used by the school until 1960. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[5]
