History
In 1969, the school rented some rooms of Nhan Van Private School (now Banh Van Tran Primary School) to conduct its first academic year 1969/1970. In the next academic year, 1970/1971, the school relocated to its present location due to the completion of the campus construction. The new campus was a two-storeyed building with only 12 rooms.
In the AY 1973/1974, the school was renamed Nguyen Thuong Hien School. However, twelve years later, the government decided to change the name to Nguyen Van Troi School. Soon after that, the school regained the name Nguyen Thuong Hien High School in honor of the patriotic Confucian Nguyen Thuong Hien.
