William C. Hinkley High School or simply Hinkley High School is a public high school in Aurora, Colorado, United States. It is one of eight high schools in Aurora Public Schools.[2] In 2007, Hinkley was ranked within the top 1000 public high schools in the United States by Newsweek.[3]

Hinkley is an Engineering and Biomedical pathway school.
Hinkley offers one of the district's few International Baccalaureate programmes,[4] and is one of only a handful of schools to offer an IB Human Rights course.[5]
In order to ease the 150-hour community service requirement of the IB Programme, a student organization known as the Landmines Task Force was created. The group raises money and awareness regarding the international landmine problem, donating through the United Nations Association's Adopt-A-Minefield to help eradicate landmines in Mozambique. To date, the group has raised over $20,000.[6] The program was started by IB HL African History teacher Christine Sundberg in the 2003/2004 school year; the program has ceased to exist since the 2008/2009 school year.
Hinkley's free/reduced lunch rate is 62% of the students.[7]
Hinkley has won five CHSAA state championships. Their most successful sport is boys basketball, in which they won two titles (1994 and 1998).
