What is the name of the high school attended by the older teens in Stranger Things?

The older teenagers in Stranger Things attend Hawkins High School. The school is a recurring setting for Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington, Jonathan Byers, Robin Buckley, and other students.

Hawkins High is shown as a typical American public school in the 1980s, with classrooms, hallways, sports events, dances, and student clubs. It provides a contrast between everyday teenage life and the extraordinary dangers affecting the town.

The school becomes especially important during later storylines involving social pressure and community fear. In season 4, students and adults respond to a series of supernatural deaths connected to Vecna. The school’s basketball team and student culture also become major parts of Lucas Sinclair’s conflict as he tries to balance popularity with loyalty to his friends.
