Niagara Falls High School is a public high school located at 4455 Porter Road in Niagara Falls, New York. Niagara Falls High School was established in 2000, becoming the city's only public high school with the merging of the "old" Niagara Falls High School and the former LaSalle High School, both of which were located in the city of Niagara Falls. The school's graduation rate is 73%, roughly the state average, but is high considering that it is located in an economically depressed area.

Famous quotes containing the words niagara, falls, high and/or school:
“We set up a certain aim, and put ourselves of our own will into the power of a certain current. Once having done that, we find ourselves committed to usages and customs which we had not before fully known, but from which we cannot depart without giving up the end which we have chosen. But we have no right, therefore, to claim that we are under the yoke of necessity. We might as well say that the man whom we see struggling vainly in the current of Niagara could not have helped jumping in.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
““Dark times” is what they call it in Norway when the sun remains below the horizon all day long: the temperature falls slowly but surely at such times.—A nice metaphor for all those thinkers for whom the sun of mankind’s future has temporarily disappeared.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I’m for a high libido president! I applaud him if he gets up and picks up women.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
—Jane Adams (20th century)
