North Hollywood High School is a secondary school in North Hollywood, California.

North Hollywood High School is located in the San Fernando Valley and enrolls approximately 4200 students each year.

North Hollywood High School is currently on a year round schedule. The school itself is split into many different academies and a Highly Gifted Magnet. Academies include the Transportation Careers Academy (TCA), the Naturalist Academy, and the North Hollywood High School Biological Sciences Center, more commonly known as the Zoo Magnet.

As of 2006, the school principal is Dr. Randall V. Delling.

Zoo Magnet

The magnet is a specialized school that buses its students out to a site next to the LA Zoo. At this site, the approximately 300 students who attend take all the regular classes such as history, math, and English. The difference is that there are several classes related to biological and zoological sciences, which the students can choose from in place of chemistry or physics, and as general electives. Many of these classes also include trips into the zoo for tours and observation. One class, animal behavior, requires observation time in the zoo, 3 days per week (each class meets only 3 days, 2hrs each)- during class time. Another class, animal husbandry, requires community service, working with the wildlife in different areas of the zoo.
