Morro Bay High School is a four-year public high school located in the city of Morro Bay along the coast of San Luis Obispo County, California, United States. Students of the school are typically residents of Morro Bay, Los Osos (to the south), and Cayucos (to the north). On average, enrollment ranges from 800 to 900 students a year. The school is roughly 60 meters from the beach (.04 mile) and 228 meters (.14 mile) from the Pacific Ocean. History Morro Bay High School was first conceived in 1956 when the city voted bonds for its construction, winning by a ratio of four to one. The school was completed in 1959. Initially, the school had served 5 grades throughout the late 60s: 7th Grade, 8th Grade, 9th Grade, 10th Grade, and 11th Grade. Around the late to early 70s the school later followed the common structure of an "American four-year high school".

Since 2017, the school has hired a "birdman" to use predatory birds (hawks, owls, and falcons) to patrol the school, acting as a deterrent to the seagulls. As of now, this has proved to be effective in clearing the sky of seagulls and keeping the ground clean. Measure D In 2014 a $177 million bond was passed to renovate infrastructure of schools in SLCUSD. Since 2016, the school has gone through heavy construction with renovations such as renovation of the auto shop, a new pool, student services building (new office), all-weather track, STEAM complex (J Wing Renovation), and New Band and Agriculture Shop Classroom. Current renovations have added up to around $12 million. The school anticipates $33 more million worth of construction, with a remodeled cafeteria/multipurpose room, renovation to the quad, renovation of the classrooms, and restoration of the old gym.
