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.
