East Rockaway Junior-Senior High School (often abbreviated ERHS) is a co-educational six-year secondary school in East Rockaway, New York, and the sole high school in Nassau County, New York, School District 41, the smallest school district in Nassau County. It is currently undergoing renovations to expand the school into a middle school and high school, becoming a seven-year secondary school. East Rockaway High School has an average of 560 students, encompassing graduates from local Centre Ave. and Rhame Ave. Elementary Schools, as well as the private St. Raymond Elementary School.

East Rockaway High School's athletic teams are known as the "Rocks" (and the "Lady Rocks") and have Division IV teams in American football, baseball, volleyball, softball, and track and field. The school's soccer team is shared between itself and Malverne Senior High School. The school's mascot, The Rockman, is visually based on "The Thing" of the Fantastic Four. The school's colors are orange and black.

Such productions include "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" (1989), "The Wizard of Oz" (1990), "" (1991), "Peter Pan" (1992 and 2002), "Annie" (1993 and 2004), "Godspell" (1994), "The Sound of Music" (1995), "Cinderella" (1996), "Bye Bye Birdie" (1997), "Oliver!"
