Ahad HaAm High School
Ahad HaAm High School, located in Petah Tikva, Israel is named after Asher Zvi Hirsch Ginsberg, primarily known by his Hebrew name and pen name, Ahad HaAm, (Hebrew: אחד העם, lit. one of the people, Genesis 26:10).
The high school won the National Education Award for 2010 from the Israeli Ministry of Education in recognition of its excellence in education and outstanding matriculation rate – 95.32%.[1]

It is being currently led by principal Yael Bezalel.
In September 2013 an adjacent junior high was founded, also named Ahad HaAm, with students continuing from the junior high to the high school.
The school is well known for its World Scholar's Cup delegations, most recently winning the best overall team awards at the 2022 Prague Global Round (Sr. and Jr. level) and second best place at 2022 Tournament of champions (Jr.), as well as second best place at the 2023 London Global Round.
