History
Yio Chu Kang Secondary began operations in 1966, and was set up in response to a request by residents of the Yio Chu Kang area to the then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew for a secondary school.[1] It was initially located at the tenth milestone of Yio Chu Kang Road, housed in a S$444,000 campus.[2] In 1982, the school moved to new premises along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 and the new premises were officially opened on 26 August 1983 by MP for Yio Chu Kang Lau Ping Sum.[3]
