- Effingham County High School is one of two public high schools located in Effingham County Georgia, northwest of Savannah, Georgia. The school was created in 1956.
- The school mascot is the Rebel, and the school colors are blue and white.
- History: Effingham County High School was created in 1956 with the consolidation of Effingham County's smaller high schools. The campus was built just west of Springfield on Georgia Highway 119. A new larger, more modern facility was opened in the fall of 1989 just west of the original campus. The old campus became Effingham County Middle School. In 2003, a new football stadium was built behind the current campus and the old Rebel Field (1961-2003) was dismantled.
- The school has seen much growth over the years as Savannah and southeast Georgia continue to boom. The school grew to 2000 students. A decision was made to split into two high schools, one that would serve the rapidly growing southern part of the county and the other (ECHS) that would continue serving the central and northern parts of the county. In 1996, South Effingham High School opened on Georgia Highway 30, just west of Rincon.
- Campus: The school is located in a rural area of central Effingham County, between Springfield and Guyton. The campus consists of a single school building and several portable classrooms. Faculty and students have separate parking lots. The track encircles the large marching band practice field. Outdoor athletic facilities include softball, soccer, baseball, and football fields, and tennis courts.
In 50 years of service, ECHS has had fewer than 10 principals.
- Athletics: Effingham County's athletic teams are known as the Rebels.
- Baseball, Basketball, Cheerleading (game and competition), Cross country, Fast-pitch softball, Football, Golf, Soccer, Tennis, Track and field, Volleyball, Wrestling.
- Effingham County High School's biggest rival since its opening is South Effingham High School, our cross-county rival. Other rivals include Statesboro High and Benedictine Military Academy.
- Music: The Effingham County High Band consists of marching, wind ensemble, symphonic, and jazz bands which perform regularly throughout the year. The Rebel Regiment Marching Band in particular has performed at various regional and national competitions, winning awards in several categories. The Rebel Regiment is headed by Joseph Hasty. Hasty took over as head director in 2006.
- Effingham County High's Choral Department supports several distinct choirs, consisting of show choir, and men's, women's, and mixed ensembles. They regularly sing in locations around the area.
- Clubs and organizations: A comprehensive list of clubs and organizations is too numerous to list here, but some of the more recognizable organizations include:
- Academic Decathlon/Future Problem Solvers.
