Kyungnam High School (Korean: 경남고등학교) is a college preparatory high school in Busan, South Korea.
Kyungnam High School was constructed in 1942, while Korea was under Japanese rule, as the name of Second Public Middle School of Busan. After the colonial rule ended on August 15, 1945, it reopened and continued its operation from October 1945, and was then renamed as Kyungnam Public Middle School in March 1946. During the Korean War, it was separated into First High School of Busan and West Middle School of Busan in August 1951. First High School of Busan held its first graduation ceremony in March 1952, still during the war. It got its current name in August 1953.[1]
