about our school

Dr. Jennifer Huynh

Welcome to Mira Costa High School! As Principal, I am honored to welcome students and families to our vibrant, inclusive, and high-achieving school community. At Mira Costa, we believe every student’s journey is unique, and we are committed to creating opportunities that challenge, inspire, and empower students to pursue their passions and reach their full potential.

As part of Manhattan Beach Unified School District, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of academic excellence, meaningful connections, and student well-being. Together with our exceptional staff, engaged families, and supportive community, we strive to create an environment where students grow as scholars, leaders, and individuals prepared to make a positive impact both within and beyond our campus.

– Dr. Jennifer Huynh, Principal
