Coral Secondary School (CSS) was a government co-educational neighbourhood secondary school in Pasir Ris. Coral Secondary School opened in January 1999 with 6 Secondary one classes Initially, the school had 17 teaching staff and 8 support staff. The school began its lessons at Siglap Secondary School and moved to its new premises on 15 November 1999.
The original name of the school in Chinese is a literal translation of the word 'coral' (珊瑚). However, it had been changed to 'Yunhai' (云海), which can be interpreted and written in two versions: the original or the simplified form. The original version literally means cloud and sea. It is believed that corals grow well in the sea with a cloudy sky. The Chinese characters emphasises the importance of tradition and culture as well as the beauty of art and music. Hence, the school has adopted the original version of the interpretation of 'coral'.
The nearest MRT station is Pasir Ris.
The school merged with Siglap Secondary School to form Meridian Secondary School in 2017.
