English High School is an historic high school building at 20 Irving Street in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Gable sections have decorative brickwork, and the third story windows have arched heads, a feature continued in other parts of the building's exterior and interior. The building served as a high school building until 1966, and as school offices thereafter.[2]
