Keira High School in Wollongong, New South Wales has existed as an institution under several names since 1917. Originally a collection of boys' technical schools on several sites throughout Wollongong, the school was amalgamated in 1954 at its current site in Lysaght Street North Wollongong.
The school then became known as Keira Boys High School and remained as such until 1984. Since that time the school has become co-educational and pioneered the integration of technology and design into the curriculum.
The KHS campus is in the heart of Wollongong's education district. It is bordered on the west by the TAFE-Illawarra Institute, on the east by Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts and is a three-minute walk from the University of Wollongong.
With an enrolment of approximately 1000 students across Year 7 to Year 12 and 65 teachers, Keira High School offers a wide range of subjects including Japanese and Cultural Understanding.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Humor does not include sarcasm, invalid irony, sardonicism, innuendo, or any other form of cruelty. When these things are raised to a high point they can become wit, but unlike the French and the English, we have not been much good at wit since the days of Benjamin Franklin.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
