Coronado High School is the second newest high school in the Lubbock Independent School District. Coronado, named for the Spanish conquistador and explorer Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, opened its doors in 1965 as the fourth high school in Lubbock, joining Lubbock High, Monterey High, and Dunbar High. Estacado was built two years after Coronado opened, in 1967. The school's mascot is the Mustang, and its colors are Scarlet and Old Gold. Like the other high schools in Lubbock ISD, Coronado discontinued its block scheduling in the 2012–13 academic calendar and went to every class every day. The school serves the southwestern part of Lubbock, Texas. The Coronado male sports teams are nicknamed the "Mustangs", with the female teams nicknamed the "Lady Mustangs".
