History
Officially opened on March 14, 1955, the school was Singapore's first co-educational secondary school and it was also among one of the first schools in Singapore to offer Malay-medium secondary classes.
In 2000, the school moved from its old campus at Siglap Road to the new premises at Pasir Ris. The newer campus included upgraded facilities to hold more classes in a morning session and became a single-session school in the same year.
No enrolment of students in 2016
On December 23, 2015, MOE announced that the school is among 7 secondary schools in Singapore that will not take in new students in 2016. Due to the falling numbers of secondary school students and the maturity of the estate the school is located in, the school will be merging with Coral Secondary School to form Meridian Secondary School.
