The Pelham Memorial High School is the only high school within the town of Pelham Town, New York, United States. It is part of the Pelham Union Free School District.
The district (of which this is the sole comprehensive high school) includes Pelham Town, which has Pelham Village and Pelham Manor Village. As of 1997 a small portion of land that is between Pelham and Pelham Bay Park, with a total of 35 houses, is a part of the Bronx, but is cut off from the rest of the borough due to the way the county boundaries were established. The New York City government pays for the residents' children to go to Pelham Union Free School District schools, including Pelham Memorial High School, since that is more cost effective than sending school buses to take the students to New York City Department of Education schools. This arrangement has been in place since 1948. As of 1997 one student at Pelham Memorial lived in this section, and New York City paid Pelham School District $15,892.86 per year for that student.
