History

immigrants from China built Penang Fukian Girls' High School in 1919. In 1920, there were 52 students. After several changes of location due to the increase of students, the school was forced to a temporal hiatus in 1941 because of the Second World War. It resumed teaching in 1945. It was finally named Penang Chinese Girls' High School in 1951. In 1962, Penang Chinese Girls' High School accepted the change of systems to publicly funded. The Chinese-based private school was kept under a different name, thus Penang Chinese Girls' Private High School.
