- Plantation High School (commonly referred to as PHS) is a high school located in Plantation, Florida. The school serves 2,669 students in grades 9 through 12, and is a part of the Broward County Public Schools district. It was originally a local United States Air Force base, but after the bases closure, it underwent a series of renovations and was established as a junior high school for grades 7-9 in 1963.
- 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" for the 2008-2009 academic year.
