History

• In 1928, it was first named Serangoon English School in a double-storeyed building in Simon Road.
• In 1937, three standards were added and with this, the school, provided education up to Standard Eight or Secondary Three in present-day terms.
• In 1942 to 1945, during the Japanese Occupation, the school was used as the Japanese Normal School for the training of officers in the Japanese education service. Much equipment was lost during those years and the school had also undergone structural alterations.
• In 1965, it remained a boys' school for almost twelve years until the introduction of Pre-University classes for both boys and girls.
• In 1952, new extensions were complete and these included a new Science block with Science laboratories on the ground floor and an assembly hall upstairs.
• In 1957, they saw the last of the primary classes and the School became a secondary school for Upper Serangoon District.
• In 1965, the first Pre-University class was formed and this section soon extended to include two Pre-University One classes and two Pre-University Two classes.
• In 1967, Serangoon English School shifted to Lowland Road and it was later renamed, Serangoon Secondary School.
• In 1976, owing to the establishment of Junior Colleges for Pre-University students, the Pre-University section of the school was closed.
• In 2000, it moved to its own present premises at Upper Serangoon View.
• In 2008, it celebrated its 80th anniversary.
