The Iwate Prefectural Third Public High School in Morioka (岩手県立盛岡第三高等学校 Iwate-kenritsu Morioka Daisan Kōtōgakkō?), commonly referred to as Morioka Third High School or San-Kō, is located in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It is the third oldest public high school in the city. There are approximately 1,000 students that attend the school.
Morioka Third High School's symbol is the Ōtori, which corresponds to "freedom, peace, truth, dreams and intellect will spread without limit".
In 2001, the school replaced its old school building with a newer, larger facility. Most of the school is not air conditioned, but the entire school is heated. In addition to the room heaters, there are heaters along the corridors. There are two gyms, but one of the gyms is hardly ever used for events. It is almost always used for playing volleyball.
[edit] School uniforms
The school uniforms are also symbols of the school. The female uniform is a navy-blue sailor-style outfit worn with black tights and a neck ribbon. The girls can change how they knot the ribbon. Almost all female students tie the ribbon into a bow. The others simply knot it. The male uniform is a black Prussian style uniform. All of the buttons show the school's emblem, the Ōtori. All students must also wear a badge of the school emblem and a badge with Roman Numerals indicating which grade they are in.
