Kings Highway, Oak Street, 5th Avenue North, and 6th Avenue North. In middle of the 1946-47 school year, a fire destroyed the school building; classes for the remainder of the school year were held in The Seaside Inn, which occupied the plot of land which the Myrtle Beach Pavilion amusement park was eventually built. Shortly after the fire, Myrtle Beach High School was rebuilt on a tract of land west of North Kings's Highway, northwest of the present intersection of U.S. 17 Business and 14th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach. In 1965, MBHS was one of the first public schools in its area to integrate both black and white students. 1990, the school building and athletic fields were sold by Horry County Schools and was redeveloped to the Kings Festival shopping center. MBHS was relocated to its present site on Robert Grissom Parkway between 29th and 38th Avenues North.SportsMyrtle Beach High School offers the following sports: baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, lacrosse, and wrestling.
