Port Huron High School (PHHS) was founded in 1868, and has been in continuous operation as a secondary school in Port Huron, Michigan since then.


PHHS athletic teams competed in the Eastern Michigan League (EML) until the 1990s; upon dissolution of the EML, PHHS joined the Macomb Area Conference (MAC). The athletic teams are known as the "Big Reds", a reference to the school colors—red, white and black.


PHHS is most famous for its excellent marching band, called the "Big Red Marching Machine". The "Big Red Marching Machine" has performed in many high visibility fori, including the Summer Olympics (Munich, 1972), the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade, and Walt Disney World.


The school's annual yearbook, The Student, has been honored with Awards of Excellence at the state and national levels. In 2009 The Student received a Gold Medal from the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association (MIPA), and First Place by the National Scholastic Press (NSPA). In 2010 it received a Gold Medal from MIPA with high ratings for its exemplary photography, and ranked First Place again from NSPA with a Mark of Distinction in theme development. The yearbook is one of the oldest in the state, being continuously published since May 1905.
