Montgomery High School (MOH) is a four year (grade levels 9-12) public high school located in the city of San Diego, California. It opened in 1970 and is situated today in Otay Mesa. Montgomery High School serves more than 2,500 students, and is named after pioneer aviator John J. Montgomery, who made the first manned glider flight in U.S. history from a hill in the area where the school is located.
Prior to a 1986 annexation claim, the school was originally located in the city of Chula Vista. The city boundary dispute was finalized in 2006 and Montgomery High School officially became located in San Diego city limits in July 2006.

Other work was performed in 2011 into early 2012 under Prop O - including renovating the old library, and a new landscaping and quad area. SGI Construction Management retained as Program Manager.
