In 2005, Morro Bay High School was accredited as a California Distinguished School by WASC, and also named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2006.

Additionally, Morro Bay High was the first school in the district to have its website made entirely by students.

In early September 2006, the school received a bomb threat by telephone. This incident was notable because it was the first time that the school had gone to pre-evacuation status in many years.
