Newbury High School is a public high school in Newbury Township. It is the only high school in the Newbury Local Schools district. Their nickname is the Black Knights. It is the only school district in Geauga County that serves a single township.

All grades (K-12) are located at the same site at 14775 Auburn Road, just north of Kinsman Road (State Route 87). All grades from K-12 are located in the original building, which was built in the late 1920s.

The school announced in April 2014 that the newest building constructed in the 1970s will no longer host Grades 4-6 due to declining enrollment and budget shortfalls.[2] In 2015, it was announced that the Geauga County Public Library will relocate the Newbury Station into this building.[3]
