Plantation High School (commonly referred to as PHS) is a public high school located in Plantation, Florida, United States, part of the Broward County Public Schools district. As of 2023, the school served 1,834 students in grades 9 through 12. It was originally located on the Fort Lauderdale Airport grounds, specifically on the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale base. This was used as a temporary location until the new building was ready to open at its present location. Students at Plantation High are called "Colonels." The original school logo was a graphic of a traditional Southern colonel—the equivalent of Colonel Reb, mascot of the University of Mississippi. In the early 1990s, amidst concerns of racial insensitivity, the logo was changed to a large red letter C, similar to the Chicago Bears logo.

Plantation High has an FCAT school grade of "C" since 2014–2023 [2021 not assessed].

The school's attendance zone includes Plantation and a portion of Sunrise.
