Miami State High School is a secondary school in the suburb of Miami in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia). It is currently the Gold Coast's second oldest state school, second in age only to Southport State High School (established 1955).
The traditional custodians of the land on which Miami State High School rests are the Yugambeh language group of the Bundjalung nation.
Originally named South Coast District State High School, Miami High was officially opened in April 1963. It soon became known as Miami High and, after a number of years, the more compact name was officially adopted. It was built to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding population on the Gold Coast. At the time, the only public high schools were Southport High School and Tweed River High School, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) apart, with the site of Miami High about midway between the two on the Gold Coast Highway at the very northern end of Miami.
