Hamamatsu Municipal Senior High School (浜松市立高等学校, Hamamatsu-shiritsu Kōtōgakkō) is a senior high school in Hamamatsu, Japan, operated by the city government.

Because the city of Hamamatsu has one of the largest non-Japanese populations in the country, 60% of which is composed of expatriates of Brazilian descent.[1] there is a significant enrollment of students who do not speak Japanese as a primary language. Non-Japanese students are placed in special classes.[2]
