Fletcher High School (19°30'55"S 29°51'14"E) is a school in Gweru, Zimbabwe. It was one of the first boarding schools during the colonial era prior to black independence in Zimbabwe and it was opened in 1957. The first principal was Mr D Davies[1]. It was established as a boys school but is now currently a co-ed school after it opened its doors to the first group of female students in 1987.

The school offers secondary education starting from the first year of secondary education (form 1), up to the last year of secondary education (form 6).
