[edit] History
Klang High School was originally named Temporary English School and was open to students in the town of Klang on January 14, 1928 with the beginning of the academic school year.
The main school block was officiated by the Sultan of Selangor on March 20, 1930. Since then the school has expanded significantly to accommodate its ever increasing student population.
In 1941, the Klang High School was used as the headquarters of the Medical Auxiliary Service for Klang. There were 2 doctors assisted by 52 nurses. The school reopened after the World War and was being used as a military hospital by the British Military Authority.
Since Malaysia's independence, it was more commonly known as Sekolah Tinggi Klang or by its acronym S.T.K. By the end of 1990s, the name was changed in accordance with new Ministry of Education regulations to its current name.

[edit] School Song
O God almighty, we give thee thanks
For our school, the High School Klang
And for the teachers who daily guide us
With answers to questions asked
Onward the spirit of close fellowship
And towards others in friendship and love
May we never be found wanting
The great courage of living and striving
Dear High School Klang
Our High school Klang
Thee our dear Alma Mater
Forward to serve we go now
May we love thee forever more
