Doherty Memorial High School is a public high school located in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States. It opened its doors in the fall of 1966, replacing two closing schools: Worcester Classical High School and Worcester Commerce High School.[4]

The school was named for Dr. Leo T. Doherty, an educator, who, over a period of forty years, served Worcester as a teacher, art director, assistant superintendent, and superintendent of schools.[citation needed]

The school has about 2,000 students, in grades 9 to 12, in the Worcester Public Schools district.[3] The school's principal is John Staley.[2] The school offers 24 AP courses, with more available through Virtual High School.[5] The school serves the west side (Pleasant & Chandler Street, Tatnuck Square, Salisbury Street, Forest Grove, Newton Square, and June, Mill, Pleasant, and May Streets neighborhoods) of Worcester.

The original building was demolished in June 2024. A new, 425,000-square-foot facility opened in August 2024. The site of the former high school will be used for parking lots and an athletic complex.
