Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School (AABHPHS) is a high school in the Upper Land Park neighborhood of Sacramento, California. A member of the Sacramento City Unified School District.

During the fall of 2002, developers met with other founding partners to discuss the potential merits of a small healthcare high school for Sacramento. Sacramento was experiencing an extreme shortage of new, qualified healthcare workers and the Sacramento City Unified School District was in the process of developing a network of small, focused high schools.

In 2005, a temporary campus was built for inaugural freshmen for one year. And in late 2006, the final campus was completed.

AABHPHS is named after the late Senior Master Sergeant (Retired) Arthur A. Benjamin, U.S.A.F., a life support systems specialist and instructor in the United States Air Force; prior Director for the U.C. Davis Medical Center Cancer Ward; prior Air Force Junior ROTC instructor from nearby Hiram Johnson High School, and prior principal for Hiram Johnson.

The school offers many extracurricular and academic activities that include: MESA, basketball, volleyball, science, Japanese, Latino, yearbook, leadership, anime, martial arts, and dance. All clubs participate in school.^{[clarification needed]}
