The Old Athol High School building is an historic school building at 494 School Street in Athol, Massachusetts. The H-shaped two story brick Art Deco building was constructed in several stages between 1915 and 1937. The building originated with a central portion that was built in 1892, two sides of the H were added in 1915. In 1937 the original 1892 central portion was demolished and replaced by the present central section. The building served as the town's high school until 1957, when it was used for junior high and middle grades in the Athol-Royalston Regional School District. It served that purpose until 2003.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1] It has since been converted to residential use.
