Myrtle Beach High School (abbreviated MBHS) is a public school located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The school is one of nine high schools within Horry County Schools. The school serves the city of Myrtle Beach. MBHS has over 1,200 students and is home to the Myrtle Beach High School Seahawks.
Myrtle Beach High School originally shared a facility with all the lower grades in Myrtle Beach's public schools in a building occupying a city block bounded by N. Kings Highway, Oak Street, 5th Avenue North, and 6th Avenue North. In middle of the 1946-47 school year, a fire destroyed the school building; classes for the remainder of the school year were held in The Seaside Inn, which occupied the plot of land which the Myrtle Beach Pavilion amusement park was eventually built. Shortly after the fire, Myrtle Beach High School was rebuilt on a tract of land west of North Kings's Highway, northwest of the present intersection of U.S. 17 Business and 14th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach. In 1965, MBHS was one of the first public schools in its area to integrate both black and white students. 1990, the school building and athletic fields were sold by Horry County Schools and was redeveloped to the Kings Festival shopping center. MBHS was relocated to its present site on Robert Grissom Parkway between 29th and 38th Avenues North.
Myrtle Beach High School offers the following sports: baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, lacrosse, and wrestling.
The school's teams compete in South Carolina Region VII-3A sports with Georgetown High School, North Myrtle Beach High School, St. James High School, Wilson High School, and Lake City High Schiool.
