St Mary High School is a secondary school located in the St Mary area of Highgate, in Jamaica.
St Mary High School is a traditional high school, for grades 7 to 13. It has a mixed racial makeup, the largest minority race being East-Indian. The school was the National Schools' Debate champion in 1997 and 1998. In common with all state-run Jamaican secondary schools, St. Mary High uses a selection process to accept students at the grade seven level. Students from primary and preparatory schools can attempt to gain a place by sitting the GSAT Examination, formerly the Common Entrance Examination, and the Grade Nine Achievement test.
Uniform is worn, which for girls is a green tunic with white blouse, and for boys khaki pants and shirt. The school motto is "Faith and Courage".

Students take the Caribbean Examinations Council Exam (CXC) after five years at the school. Grades attained in the CXC Exam determine which students move on to tertiary institutions, and which move on to grades 12 and 13.
