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.

Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
