Gering High School (GHS) is the only high school in Gering, Nebraska, United States. It is located at 1500 U Street. It has an enrollment of over 625 students, with a student to teacher ratio of 18:1. GHS offers a full range of academic courses as well as art, journalism and music programs. Many extracurricular after-school clubs and sports programs are available. The school was the first in the district to use block scheduling, the practice of having four one-and-a-half-hour classes that alternate every other day. In 2007 the Freshmen Academy was created to provide a transition for junior high students to high school. The Freshmen Academy mimics the high school block schedule, while maintaining a smaller more cohesive environment for the freshmen students.

The representative for Nebraska's 3rd District, Adrian Smith, graduated from Gering High School in 1989.
