Del Mar High School is a secondary school located in San Jose, California, USA which was established in 1959.

Del Mar was the first complete four year high school in California to be constructed by the state's aid building fund at a cost of $3 million dollars. The school was also the first of any high school in the state to boast a sunken football stadium; the stadium came about as part of an agreement between the school district and Count Allesandro Dandini, the owner of a brick-making plant which was adjacent to the football field. The stadium area was cleared out in exchange for the clay which was excavated and the bowl is risen 4 feet. The school's sport program include: football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, wrestling, swimming, and track & field.

The school mascot of Del Mar is "The Don". As of 2006 the school principal is Mr. Jim Russell.
