Buena High School is a high school in Sierra Vista, Arizona. It is the only high school in the Sierra Vista Unified School District.

The current school building was built in the early 1990s to accommodate an ever-expanding student enrollment and opened in the spring of the 1991–92 school year. The school was built to handle an enrollment of up to 2,500 students; it was over-capacity from its opening and filled to capacity through the late 2000s.

It serves high school-aged dependent children living on Fort Huachuca.
