[edit] History

It started operation on the 1st December 1994 with 1001 students and 46 teachers. Due to infrastructure problems and lack of buildings, the students had to attend classes at a temporary school which was Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Taman Universiti 2 and Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Taman Sri Pulai with 644 and 349 students respectively. The first principal was En. Ahmad bin Atil.

On the 3rd of April 1995, the school started operation on the site where it is today. In 1998, the school was recognised as an "A" grade school with 2837 students and 124 teachers. The number of students increased every year. To reduce the number of students, new schools around the area was built which are Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Universiti 2, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Mutiara Rini, and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Desa Skudai. As a result, in 2002 the number of students had decreased to 2161 pupils which lead to better student-teacher ratio.
