Marina High School is a public high school located in the northwest corner of Huntington Beach, California which first began operating in 1963. Marina is part of the Huntington Beach Union High School District, which includes several other area high schools. The school is located on Springdale Street between Edinger Avenue and McFadden Avenue. In 2009, the school was named a California Distinguished School, the highest honor given to schools in California.[2]

Athletics

Marina's athletic teams are known as the Vikings and the school colors are Navy Blue, Columbia Blue, and Gold. They compete in the Sunset League of the California Interscholastic Federation's (CIF) Southern Section. Marina has no on-campus stadium and plays most of its football home games at nearby Westminster High School.

In 2000, Marina's varsity field hockey team played an undefeated season of 13-0 and took both the Sunset League Championship as well as the CIF Championship.[citation needed]

In 2007, Marina Boys Basketball broke the National record for 3 point shots made in a season making 437 three pointers.[citation needed]
