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 opened by the Sultan of Selangor on March 20, 1930. Since then the school has expanded 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 two doctors assisted by 52 nurses. The school reopened after the WWII having been used as a military hospital by the British Military Authority.
