This research aimed to construct and validate the High Schools Classroom Management (HSCMQ). In this descriptive-survey study, among the high school teachers in Lorestan in the academic year 2020-2021, a sample of 351 people was selected by multi-stage random sampling method (stratified) and answered the researcher-made questionnaire of high school classroom management. The reliability of the questionnaire was determined by Cronbach's alpha, Spearman-Brown Split-half, and Guttman methods and its validity and factor structure were determined by construct validity and concurrent validity methods. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the 60-item high school classroom management questionnaire has 3 basic components of general, specialized, and organizational characteristics of teachers. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model of high school classroom management has good fitness and its 3-factor structure was confirmed (CFI=0.99, GFI=0.97, and RMSEA=0.055). The concurrent validity of this questionnaire was also confirmed by correlating its items with the items of the Virtual Classroom Purposeful Management Questionnaire (Sheivandi Choliche et al., 2022) and the Scale Transformative Classroom Management in Elementary Schools (Moghtadaie, 2021) (p<0.05). Cronbach's alpha coefficients, Spearman-Brown Split-half and Guttman correlation for the whole questionnaire were 0.82, 0.77, and 0.74, respectively. Therefore, the High Schools Classroom Management (HSCMQ) offers a valid and reliable measure of classroom management for high school teachers.
