Glen Este High School was a public high school in Glen Este outside Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It was one of two high schools in the West Clermont Local School District, the other being Amelia High School. The four-year high school had an enrollment of approximately 1,200 students in grades 9–12 in 2012.

Glen Este High School was accredited by the Ohio Department of Education and the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The school was also a member of the Ohio Association of College Admissions Counselors and the National Association of College Admissions Counselors. It was one of the few schools in Greater Cincinnati that operated its own radio station, solely run by the students. Closed circuit radio KXKVO was organized as a club and operated from 1967 until 1972. In the fall of 2017 Glen Este merged with Amelia High School to become West Clermont High School.

In 2019, the school was acquired by private education non-profit, Child Focus Inc., which reopened the school as the Carter Center for Educational Excellence, providing special needs education for the area.[4]
