Kelston Boys' High School ("KBHS") is an all-boys state secondary school in Kelston, a suburb of Waitakere City, Auckland Region, New Zealand. It was created in 1963 as a separate institution from Kelston High School, which is ten years older.
The school is known for the strength of its Rugby teams, having produced several All Blacks. The current All Black coach Graham Henry is a former headmaster. Current headmaster Stephen Watt played for the Auckland regional team in the 1970s (where he was affectionately nicknamed 'The Kicking Prop' for his unusual goalkicking prowess).
