Miraleste Intermediate School (MIS) is one of three public middle schools in the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD) (the others being Palos Verdes Intermediate School and Ridgecrest Intermediate School).

Overview

Miraleste Intermediate School occupies a terraced, twenty-acre campus on a Rancho Palos Verdes hillside that overlooks the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors. MIS serves three of the cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula: Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, and Rolling Hills Estates. The campus opened to students in 1968 as a high school. In June 1991, the school became an intermediate campus serving grades 6, 7, and 8. Students attending Miraleste have access to facilities not usually found at an intermediate site: a swimming pool, gymnasium, tennis courts, track, a theater arts building with a full-size stage, an orchestral music room and a chorus room.^{[citation needed]}
