Delta High School is a public high school in Hamilton Township, Delaware County, Indiana, just northeast of Muncie. It is the only comprehensive high school in the Delaware Community School Corporation and serves about 848 students in grades 9–12. The Eagle is the mascot, and the school colors are navy blue, gold, and white. Delta competes in the IHSAA, in the Hoosier Heritage Conference.

Delta High School opened in 1967 when DeSoto, Eaton, and Royerton high schools combined to form the Delaware Metropolitan School District, which later became the Delaware Community School Corporation. The name "Delta" was chosen by a student committee because it shares letters with the names of the former schools and with Delaware. The initial classes were held in the former Royerton High School building. The current building was constructed from 1972 to 1974, costing about $7 million and covering about 213,000 square feet. Albany High School joined the district but closed in August 1974, with its students moving to Delta.

Delta High School was remodeled in 1992 and again in 2007 due to a mold problem. An athletics center costing about $6 million opened in 2021. The school also offers an early college program called the University of Delta High School.

Enrollment for 2024–2025 is 848 students, with about 60.95 full-time equivalent teaching staff and a student-teacher ratio of 13.91. The principal is Joey Gossett. The school's address is 3400 E. State Road 28, Muncie, Indiana.
