History
This school was officially opened on 27 May, 1971 by the then Minister of Education Datuk Tun Hussien Onn, who went on to become the prime minister of the nation a few years later.
The school was formed from a merger of three separate schools including Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (Public High School) and Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (Language Public High School).
The school has been described by "Malaysiakini" as "a premier institute in the district". [ [http://www.malaysiakini.com/columns/29591 "The sorry state of education"] , Malaysiakini, September 1, 2004]
