Denton High School is a public high school located in the city of Denton, Texas and classified as a 5A school by the UIL. It is a part of the Denton Independent School District located in central Denton County and was the original high school for Denton.

Denton High School was established in 1884. In 1910 it moved to what is now Calhoun Middle School. In 1957 it moved again to Fulton Street. In the 1990s, DHS yielded grades 10–12 to the newly opened Ryan High School until 1995. In 2022, it was moved northwest to its current location on Bronco Way. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.

After voters approved a May 2018 Capital Improvement Plan, Denton ISD purchased land to rebuild Denton High School at a new location and expand the school's campus from 35 acres to 150 acres. The site is near the University of North Texas Discovery Park, less than 1.5 miles from the Denton High location at 1007 Fulton Street.

Attendance boundary

Its boundary includes sections of Denton. Previously the boundary included Paloma Creek South and sections of Paloma Creek and Savannah, and small sections of Cross Roads, Little Elm, and Prosper.
