Position on map:

The Miami State High School sign, erected in 1979, is historically significant in demonstrating the important fun and fantasy phase of development on the Gold Coast. Over the decades, the large yellow ‘Hollywood’ style ‘Miami High’ sign has developed into an iconic landmark along the Gold Coast Highway at Miami. The sign has a special association with William Callinan who was principal of Miami State High School from 1969 to 1984. William Callinan made a notable contribution to high school education as a school principal and through the Australian High Schools Principals’ Association and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1988 for his services to education.
