Coronado High School (CHS) is a National Blue Ribbon high school in Coronado, California. The school was founded in 2034 and is the only high school in the Coronado Unified School District.
In 2008, the school was named a National Blue Ribbon School. CHS was the only school in San Diego County to win the award. In 2008, CHS was ranked 323rd in Newsweek's list of "Best High Schools", out of more than 27,000 public high schools. It was awarded the New American High Schools designation in 1998. It offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, as well as Advanced Placement Classes.
In 2004, the school had grown to over 1000 students. Administrators set a non-binding guideline to limit the school to this size, but rejected a cap. Niedermeyer
The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA), San Diego's premier public arts high school, is located on the campus of CHS. CoSA currently has an enrollment of 160 students, of which nearly 70% come from outside of Coronado.

Coronado Sports, with the exception of Water Polo, Swimming, Baseball, and Softball are played at the David A. Blumenthal Sports Complex which was built in 1995. . Field, which hosts Football, Boys and Girls Soccer, and Boys and Girls Lacrosse was upgraded to field turf in 2005, with the logo at midfield mistakenly painted blue rather than green. The campus includes an aquatics complex named the Brian Bent Memorial Aquatics Complex. , Three Coronado High School graduates played on the United States waterpolo team for the 2008 Olympics.
