The Gautier Benitez High School in Caguas, Puerto Rico was built in 1924 and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.^[1]

It is a U-shaped, two-story concrete structure with Classical Revival elements including monumental portico with triangular pediment and use of columns.^[2]

It was deemed significant for NRHP registration because it was the first high school in its area, and for its architecture. Its neo-classical style reflects Americanization of public education since the 1898 transition of Puerto Rico. It was built in a program along with the Ponce High School in Ponce and the Central High School in San Juan, both also NRHP-listed.^[2]^:
