High School was formerly developed at a building in Jalan Zabedah (now the JKR building). Then, High School was relocated to a land in Jalan Zaharah. The new building (now the Administration building) was built in 1918 and opened in 1919.
The school offers both basic and advanced secondary education courses. Like other secondary schools, it offers lower and upper secondary educations: Form 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The Pre-University classes consists of Lower Six and Upper Six classes. These classes are advancements from the upper secondary classes. Most students studying in Form Six classes wear different uniform colours than the secondary students. The most important exam that the Form Six students are taking is the Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) certificate, which is based on the subjects that the student take throughout their education in Form Six.
The administration building functions as the nucleus of the school. It houses key school head offices and most meetings are conducted here.
Historically, the building which stands out from years 1919 has been in white colours but it recently been painted in yellow colours to match the school logo.
Built in 1984, the High School Main Hall is used for morning assembly, prefects meetings and social functions.
Since its establishment, SMK Tinggi Batu Pahat has educated many notable people in various fields. The following list shows the notable alumni of the school. To foster close relationships among its students culminating in mutual cooperation, assistance and a strong network, High School Batu Pahat Alumni was formed even before 1958 when it was officially registered. The Alumni has made numerous contributions to the school, among them the present library building with its air-conditioning systems, the basketball court and the school pavilion.[1]
