Pleasant Hill High School is a public school in Pleasant Hill, Oregon, United States serving grades seven through twelve. The school served grades nine through twelve until 2009, when the Pleasant Hill School District closed the district's elementary school and redistributed the students between the high school and middle school buildings, because of declining enrollment and funding issues. The current high school building was constructed in 1961.

Athletics
The school's mascot is the billy goat and its nickname is the "Billies". Formerly their athletic teams were known as the Hillbillies but only for three years in the "Ma and Pa Kettle" movie era. An early publication of the school in the 1920s was "The Goat's Gazette," showing the original team name WAS for the goat, not "hillbillies."
In 1910, the basketball team went undefeated, beating the University of Oregon's second team as well as Springfield and Eugene high schools.
