Miami Coral Park Senior High School is a secondary school, located at 8865 S.W. 16th Street in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. The school was opened in 1963. It was the first school with A/C in South Florida. The principal is Dr. Nick JacAngelo. Coral Park has one of the best Engineering and Robotics academies including other subcategory.

For a brief period in the late 1980s up to the late 1990s (1998), the stretch of 16th street on which the school is located was renamed "Jose Canseco Street" after one of the school's most famous alumni. However, after Canseco gained notoriety due to several scandalous episodes, the street returned to its original designation as "Ram Road" when students signed a petition. Part of the street is now named Ram Road/Jose Luis Rodriguez, after a local philanthropist who volunteered at Coral Park and whose son attended the school.

Coral Park's athletic rival was Southwest Miami High School, but the opening of G. Holmes Braddock High School in 1990 brought a new rival for Coral Park.

In 1996 and in 2003, the Miami Coral Park Varsity Cheerleading squad won national championship titles. (Cheerleaders of America in Jacksonville, FL 1996; unknown competition name 2003). our cheerleaders do not compete any more but they are prepared for the colleges they would like to cheer for in the coming future. even for the worst of our students

In 2011, the Miami Coral Park Marching "Band Of Gold" won the Class 3a State Championship at the annual FMBC Florida marching band competition.

During the summer of 1984, Coral Park's gym was used as the Angel Beach High gym in Porky's Revenge, the third movie of the Porky's series.
