Melbourne High SchoolorMel-Hi is a public secondary school located in Melbourne, Florida, United States and operated by Brevard Public Schools.
The original high school was built on New Haven Avenue in 1919. It is now the Henegar Center. In 1948, the old Eau Gallie High School on Pineapple Avenue closed. Their former students were bused to Melbourne High.[3] Rotary International chartered their first Interact service club ever with 23 students at the school in 1960.[4]
In about 1953, Zora Neale Hurston staged the school's first integrated concert, though the school had not yet been integrated itself.[5]
The school experienced race riots during the period of integration from 1969 to 1976.[6]
The school's International Baccalaureate Prep program started in 1981.[7]
In 2009 Melbourne High School became a magnet school which includes an Academy of Business and Finance. This is a National Academy Foundation program.[8]
The school has an Academy of Business and Finance ("The Academy"), International Baccalaureate program, Advanced Placement program and dual enrollment.[9]
The school's mascot is the bulldog. The school's rivals are Satellite High School, Eau Gallie High School, and Palm Bay High School.[10][11]
In 2008, the school installed an artificial turf football field[21] and a new gym.[22] In 2008, the school board started construction on a new eight laboratory science building, which was completed in early 2009.[23]
