1938-1964

This is the timeline of events which occurred
in the school from 1938 to 2003.

In 1938, plans for the building of the school are submitted. The school was then officially opened in January 1939. It was an all boys school at that time and it was forced to close down due to World War II. The school then changed into a co-ed school after World War II in 1945 due to the overwhelming number of students enrolling in the school. 

The school was originally at Kim Yan Road before the site at Goodman Road was bought. The one sited at Goodman Road was then named Chung Cheng High School (Main) while the Kim Yan Road campus became Chung Cheng High School (Branch) and then renamed to Chung Cheng High School (Yishun).
