What is the name of the high school that Nancy and Jonathan attend in Stranger Things?

Nancy and Jonathan attend Hawkins High School in Stranger Things. The school is the main high school serving the fictional Indiana town of Hawkins, where much of the series’ early teenage drama unfolds.

Nancy Wheeler is introduced as a capable, academically focused student who initially appears more interested in fitting in with the popular crowd. Jonathan Byers, meanwhile, is a quieter student and photographer who often stands apart from his classmates. Their paths become closely connected after Jonathan’s younger brother Will disappears and Nancy’s friend Barb Holland vanishes.

Hawkins High is easy to confuse with Hawkins Middle School, which Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and Eleven attend during the earlier events of the story. The two schools are separate: the younger boys are middle-school students, while Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, and their older classmates are in high school. The school also becomes a recurring setting for investigations, friendships, romances, and the characters’ growing awareness that Hawkins is hiding something extraordinary.
