Miyamura High School is a high school in Gallup, New Mexico, United States. Formerly known as Gallup Junior High School, it was renamed Miyamura High School in 2007. The campus will undergo a massive renovation from 2008 to 2010 as part of the Gallup-McKinley County Schools district's plan to create a second high school for Gallup. The school's location was also the old Gallup High School campus from 1962 to 1998 before moving to Gallup's west side. Miyamura high school is named after Korean War hero, Hiroshi H. Miyamura. Miyamura draws students from the eastern side of the town, while Gallup's other high school (known simply as Gallup High), draws students from the west side of town. However, it is not uncommon to see students switch schools.
The school is under current construction and will be open on August 25, 2010
