William Tennent High School is a public high school serving grades 9 through 12, located in Warminster, Pennsylvania, US.

William Tennet replaced the Upper Southampton - Warminster High School in 1956 upon which the Upper Southampton - Warminster High School became Shelmire Elementary School.
The school was named in honor of William Tennent, an early American Presbyterian minister and founder of the original Log College, a very early theological school located in the colony of Pennsylvania.

The site of the original Log College is located near the modern high school
