Mount Olive High School is a historic former high school building located at Mount Olive, Wayne County, North Carolina. It was built in 1925, and is a three-story, T-shaped, multicolored tapestry brick school building in the Classical Revival style. It features terra cotta and cast stone exterior details and arched doorways and windows. A two-room brick cafeteria addition was made in 1945–1946. It housed Mount Olive Junior High from 1965 to 1979, after construction of the Southern Wayne High School.[2]

It was probably the most important work by architect John David Gullett.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 as "Mount Olive High School (Former)".[1] It is also a contributing building in the Mount Olive Historic District, National Register-listed in 1999.
