Marshwood High School is a school in York County, Maine, United States. It serves the towns of Eliot and South Berwick, and is located near the border between them. It has been at its current location at 260 Dow Highway (Route 236) in South Berwick since September 1999, when it was moved from its previous location in Eliot. The current site is about 10 miles (16 km) from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine.
The school's mascot is the Hawk. The original mascot was the Aristocrats, but quickly changed when a dirty joke involving aristocrats became popular in the late 1970s.
