Fisher School—High Street Historic District is a historic district at 748-850; 751-823 High Street in Westwood, Massachusetts. It includes a relatively short stretch of High Street (Massachusetts Route 109) south of Westwood's commercial heart, extending from just south of its junction with Hartford Street to the cemetery at High and Nahatan Streets. It is distinguished by its concentration of Federal and Greek Revival houses from the early 19th century. Prominent in the district is the First Baptist Church, which was built near its present location in 1809 using timbers from an earlier 1731 meeting house, and the 1845 Greek Revival District #9 School, also known as the Fisher School, which has been restored by the Westwood Historical Society.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
