Goshen Central High School educates students in grades 9-12 from the Goshen Central School District, which largely overlaps the town and village of the same name in Orange County, New York, USA. It is located just outside the north end of the village, located at the end of a short access road off Scotchtown Avenue behind the district's school bus garage and Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School.

Constructed in 1976, it is the newest of the district's four buildings. Many period architectural elements are in evidence within, from the earth tones predominant in the hallways and classrooms, carpeting in some, skylights and a courtyard in the south wing. The Commons, the school's cafeteria, is a centrally located open area that serves as a student lounge outside of lunch hours. The school's library is named for Noah Webster, who taught in Goshen as a young man in the late 18th century.

Goshen Central High School has several Varsity Sports most notably their Boys Soccer team, reaching the State Tournament several years in a row.

In 1997 the Boys Cross Country team was and is to this day the only team to win a state championship.

The Boys Varsity Tennis team has not lost a Conference Title in over 10 years.

In 2006 Jacob McNally and Srikant Patel started the Ultimate Frisbee club, and through various donations and one tournament, raised almost 500 dollars for Hurricane Katrina relief. http://www.gcsny.org/Schools/GHS/GHSNews/Katrina.htm
