Craigie Senior High School was a State high school located in Craigie, a northern suburb of Perth, Western Australia.

Craigie SHS's main feeder schools when it opened were Craigie Primary School, Camberwarra Primary School, Padbury Primary School, Lymburner Primary School and Springfield Primary School.

Craigie SHS, opened in 1976, was considered to be surplus to the requirements of the Department of Education in 2002 following a decline in enrolments in previous years[1] and was closed at the end of 2003 as part of the Local Area Education Plan. The buildings were demolished in 2004 and the land rezoned as urban in 2008.[2] As of October 2011 the land has not been developed.[3]

Students from Craigie SHS moved to nearby state high schools in the surrounding area - Duncraig Senior High School, Belridge Senior High School or Padbury Senior High School. Many of the important historical items from the school are preserved at Padbury Senior High School.[4]

Notable alumni

Notable alumni from the school include the hip-hop group Downsyde who attended the school during the 1990s.[5]
