The Gallatin County High School was a high school in Bozeman, Montana that was built in Romanesque/Classical Revival style in 1902, expanded in c. 1914, and gained an Art Deco addition in 1936-37. The c.1914 and 1936-37 work was designed by architect Fred F. Willson

The school later was renamed Willson School when it was converted to a middle school.

It includes Classical Revival, Art Deco, and Romanesque architecture. At 404 West Main Street, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

A 1987 review of the building notes that it "is dominated by a large, rounded, projecting pavilion, which is actually a feature related to the Streamline Moderne style, rather than Art Deco which is the overall style of the building."

GCHS was succeeded by the new Bozeman High School in 1956, located a mile west at 205 North 11th Avenue.
