Maroondah Secondary College was a school located on Brentnall Road, off Maroondah Highway, in Croydon, Victoria. The first principal was Harry Fletcher, and the school was originally known as Croydon West High School until 1973 when the name was changed Maroondah High School. The school entrance is in Croydon West, but the School building itself is in Ringwood East.

The school offered a full range of both VCE and VCAL programs to students, but with a limited range of subjects. Additionally they included the opportunity to complete TAFE certificates in conjunction with the VCE. Vocational Education and Training

Two LOTE languages were offered at Maroondah, French and Japanese.

A VCE study centre and newly refurbished library was finished in late 2006.

In 2007, the old science wing was re-furnished and modernised equipped with smart whiteboards. There is two gyms, and a theatre.

The College had an enrollment of approximately 590 students in its final year.

Renaming

The College was renamed Croydon-Maroondah College at the start of 2012 as part of a transition phase towards the merger of the college and Croydon Secondary College. As of 2013, the old Maroondah Secondary site serves as the Senior Campus for Melba College.
