Branford High School is a public high school in Branford, Connecticut. As of 2021–22, it has 784 students in grades 9–12.
Its former principal, Edmund Higgins, retired at the end of the 2007–08 school year.
All students must satisfy 13 performance graduation requirements in areas such as writing, non-fiction reading, mathematical problem solving, and scientific concepts.
One notable aspect of the school was its "Senior Exhibition" program. Every student had to complete a thorough research project on a topic of his or her choice during senior year. This was presented in front of a panel of judges and is graded on a Pass/Fail system.
