Watkins Memorial High School is a public high school located in Etna Township, Licking County, Ohio. It is the only high school in the Southwest Licking School System, which was formed in 1955 by the merger of Etna, Kirkersville, and Pataskala high schools. The school's nickname is the Warriors.

The school was named in memory of Dr. Watkins who served the community for years. The school's biggest sports rivals are Big Walnut (Sunbury, Ohio), Pickerington North and Pickerington Central (Pickerington, Ohio), and Licking Heights High School. The yearly football game between the Watkins Warriors and the Licking Heights Hornets is referred to as "The Battle for Broad Street." Broad street, or State Route 16, runs through Pataskala and whichever team wins this game has a small dead-end road next to the Town Hall named in their honor, either Warrior Way or Hornets Way, for the year until the next Watkins/Heights game. Watkins Middle School is located next to the high school.

The students that attend Watkins Memorial High School live in the Pataskala, Kirkersville, Etna Township, Harrison Township area.
