Sta. Elena High School (Filipino: Mataas na Paaralan ng Sta. Elena) is a public high school located at W.C. Paz St., Sta. Elena, Marikina City in the Philippines. It was an annex of the Marikina High School for Brgy. Sta Elena and nearby barangays. In 2000, it became an independent high school with Mrs. Helen T. Samson as the Head Teacher In-Charge. It is located in Marikina City.

The school was visited by the Former Department of Education Secretary, Jesli Lapus, and by the Former President of The Philippines Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the groundbreaking Ceremony of the start of building of MT Building, which is constructed through the initiative of the former 1st District Congressman, now Mayor of Marikina City, Marcelino Teodoro. It is widely known as the 2nd best public high school in Marikina City, behind only the prestigious Marikina Science High School where Mayor Marcelino Teodoro formerly studied. However, the lack of its students' discipline and some of its students lacking when it comes to academics are often criticized

Through the initiative of Marcelino Teodoro, and the PAGCOR Institution of the Aquino administration, a new building was established for the students of Sta. Elena High School, especially for the Senior High School students, due to the SHS Program of the Department of Education.
