Richmond Secondary School, (commonly, Richmond High School, RHS, and RSS) is a public, co educational secondary school located in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, that educates approximately 1200 students from grades 8 to 12. Richmond Secondary is the only school in Richmond that offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and is a magnet school in the region. Originally, Richmond High served grades 9 to 11 only (graduation was Grade 11 at this time). The first major change occurred in 1937 with the addition of grades 8 and 9 to the school. The school was renamed “Richmond Junior Senior High School” to reflect this change. In 1952, Richmond Junior Senior High School was relocated to its current location at the intersection of Minoru Blvd (then named Foster Road) and Granville Avenue. In addition, it was converted back to a senior high school, offering programs for grades 11 and 12 students only. Its name was changed accordingly to “Richmond Senior High School”. The old facility on Cambie was renamed “Cambie Junior High School” and served grades 7 through 10. In 1996, all schools in Richmond, including RHS, were converted to full spectrum grade 8–12 schools. Prior to this, all Richmond schools were either strictly senior (grades 11–12) or junior high schools (grades 8–10). Richmond High was then renamed “Richmond Secondary School”. In the early 2000s, construction of a $16.6 million replacement school building began on what used to be the school's grass field. The new building opened to students on 5 January 2004. In the same year, the previous building, which had been in use for 50 years, was torn down and replaced with an artificial turf.

Richmond Secondary is currently one of the first pioneer schools in Canada to offer the AVID program (Advancement Via Individual Determination) to grade 9–12 students. The AVID program is an academic support program that prepares students for post secondary education and enrollment, started in 1980 at Clairemont High School in San Diego.

Richmond Secondary houses numerous courses and programs designed to prepare students for life beyond high school and the workforce. In addition to applied skills elective courses such as drafting and CAD, woodworks, metal fabrication, and automotives, students may also choose to enroll in the pre employment program. This program combines academics and work experience and aims to help students develop skills necessary for the job
market. Richmond Secondary also hosts the school district's only student chef training program. The school is equipped with a full kitchen, in which student trainees prepare meals and desserts for other students and faculty to be served during breakfast and lunch hours. RHS also hosts the "Colt Young Parent Program", a program designed to meet the needs of pregnant and parenting teenagers.

Richmond Secondary currently offers numerous athletic teams for students including basketball, cross country, soccer, volleyball, swimming, golf, badminton, Ultimate Frisbee, table tennis, and track and field.

Richmond Secondary School is notable for its racial diversity and its large Asian population. As of the 2009–2010 school year, 54.8% of students listed Chinese (either Mandarin, Cantonese, or a local dialect), and 72.3% of students reported a language other than English as the primary language used at home. While unusual for a North American school, these figures are perhaps unsurprising for a high school situated in the city of Richmond, which has the highest percentage of immigrants of any city in Canada. Richmond High's feeder schools are Samuel Brighouse Elementary School, William Douglas Ferris Elementary School, and Blundell Elementary School.
