Miami High School is a secondary school located at 2450 SW 1st Street in Miami, Florida; its principal is Victiorano Lopez.
Miami High is the oldest still functioning secondary school in the county opening its doors in 1903. The school's current campus opened in 1928. Groundbreaking occurred early in 1926 but due to the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926, the school's opening was delayed for over a year. The original school was established as a two-story wooden structure, for 15 students, on NE First Avenue. The school was first opened in early 1903 with an enrollment of 264; it was already grossly overcrowded on its first day. Miami High changed locations three times before it finally settled on its current three story, 2,300 student campus near what is now Little Havana.
Miami High's official rival is Coral Gables High School but the school also has an informal athletic rivalry with Miami Beach High School.
Principal Lopez is to retire after the class of 2006 graduates.
