History
Sekolah Seri Puteri was founded on 6 May 1990, and the original name was Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Perempuan Jalan Kolam Ayer (Female Secondary School of Jalan Kolam Ayer), Kuala Lumpur. It was established to provide secondary education for students from across Malaysia. Built on a 19-acre site at Jalan Kolam Ayer previously owned by a technical school, the school opened with 144 Form 4 students, 10 teachers, and three non-academics who assisted Puan Khalidah Adibah Amin, the first principal.
In 1969, the school started contracting teachers from Bangladesh to fill vacancies in the science and mathematics departments. The first group of 102 Form 6 students was admitted in May 1971. Form 1 students were first admitted in 1975.
In 1975, pre-university matriculation courses from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia were first attended by 88 students. In 1976, the wind orchestra, Seri Puteri Winds, was formed by the third principal Puan Hajah Badiah Bt Hj, Abdul Manan, and the vice-principal Wilma Lesurf.
The school celebrated its tenth anniversary on 16 September 1978. At this event, the fourth school principal, Puan Zainab Bt Haji Mohd Yusop, officially named the school as Sekolah Seri Puteri, signifying "beauty, dignity, and leadership". The school emblem was also introduced in the same year.
On 1 May 2003, Sekolah Seri Puteri moved from Jalan Kolam Ayer to its current location in Cyberjaya. The grand opening of the new facility was held on 10 April 2007. Sultanah Nur Zahirah, the thirteenth Raja Permaisuri Agong of Malaysia, officiated at the opening.
