Shikellamy High School is a public high school located in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, United States. The school was named after Oneida Chief Shikellamy. The building was built in 1929. In 1965, a merger between Northumberland High School and Sunbury High School created Shikellamy High School. It is part of the Shikellamy School District. It is the sole public high school for the communities of Northumberland, Point Township, Rockefeller Township, Snydertown Borough, the City of Sunbury, and Upper Augusta Township. It was a combined middle/high school between 2011 and 2016 due to the deconstruction of C.W. Rice Middle School, but Shikellamy Middle School now exists for grades 6-8 in Northumberland.
