Mountain Creek State High School (MCSHS) is a co-ed secondary school on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. It is located in the suburb of Mountain Creek, 96 kilometres (60 mi) north of Brisbane. It is also home to 233 Squadron of the Australian Air Force Cadets.

The school is organised around five sub-schools that are designed to break down the large size of the school. They are named after local islands:

• Bribie (red) after Bribie Island
• Stradbroke (yellow) after Stradbroke Island
• Fraser (green) after Fraser Island
• Moreton (blue) after Moreton Island
• Mudjimba (purple) after Mudjimba Island, established in 2019

Consequently, each academic cohort of roughly 275 students in the middle school is taught by the same group of about 25 teachers, who are also responsible for pastoral care.

The school community is supported by The Creeker Foundation, the P&C Association, the Local Chaplaincy Committee (with two resident chaplains) and the following groups: Lions Mooloolaba, Life Church Sunshine Coast, Goodlife Community Centre and Redfrogs Australia.

In 2015, the school began educating year 7 students. It has a strict catchment restriction.

In 2000, the school won the Education Queensland's Showcase For Excellence Award.

The school is an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, supporting a 5% international student population. The school also provides international exposure trips to Asia, Europe and Latin America. It is a long-term member of the Council of International Schools Australia.

In 2018, the school began construction of a multi-purpose building, named The Leading Edge, and finished it in 2019. The school facilitates the Coding and Innovation Hub as part of the Sunshine Coast's innovation ecosystem. This building delivers training to students and staff on STEM concepts. In 2019, the school established an eSports program.
