History
Yeppoon High opened in 1960. Yeppoon State High School is the only government-run secondary school on the Capricorn Coast. A new Central Queensland Institute of TAFE campus is located adjacent to the school directly behind the agricultural farm.
The current principal of the school is Ian Boon who has been in the post since mid 2009. He is supported by deputy principals Mark Asher and Lesley Andrews, who have been part of the school community for many years.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
