Van Buren High School is a public high school in Van Buren, Maine, United States. The school's sports teams are known as the Crusaders. During the 2014–15 school year, 60% of the school's 80 students were considered economically disadvantaged.[2]

It is also known as M.S.A.D. 24[3] and is located on the site of the old Saint Mary's College,[4] where the first report of the Armistice ending World War 1 was received in the U.S. on Father Thomas's wireless telegraph machine.

Louis Sockalexis played his freshman year of college baseball at St. Mary's before transferring to Holy Cross.

In 2012 the Van Buren M.S.A.D 24 Boys' Baseball team added 3 players from the Girls' Softball Team, senior Naomi Maldonado, sophomore Kayla Durette and freshman Amanda Sytulek, allowing the school to field a team in a year where many of the athletes chose the popular Van Buren H.S. tennis program.[5]
