History
Originally, the school was named SMJK (Inggeris) Serdang Bharu. The reason for the name is attributed to the government policy of changing English secondary schools to national schools, with Bahasa Melayu as the medium of language.
In 2014, the school celebrated its golden jubilee.[5]
The then principal of the school Tay Keng Lee, won the overseas teacher award by the Haihua Foundation and the Overseas Community Affairs Council of Taiwan after changing the schools disciplinary problems.[6]
The school raised over RM1 million for a new auditorium.[7]
Tay Keng Lee retired after serving as the school's principal for many years.[8] While Mr Tay's position was succeeded by Madam Teo Boon Hwa on July 8, 2020.
On March 26, 2023, it was reported that the school might have been damaged due to continuous flooding in Seri Kembangan.[9]
On December 14, 2024, the then-Headmistress, Madam Teo Boon Hwa retired. The school was then reported facing shortages of administratives including the positions of Headmistress, Assistant Headmistress for Administration, and three GKMPs (Guru Ketua Mata Pelajaran).
