Chung Cheng High School (Main) (Chinese: 中正中学 (总校)) (CCHMS) is a secondary school in Singapore. Founded in 1939 by Aw Boon Haw and other businessmen, it is one of the 11 Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools in Singapore.
Chung Cheng High School is named after Chiang Kai-shek, as well as from the adoption of the name of the classical Chinese philosophy work “I Ching” or the “Book of Changes”.
Construction of the school building started at 60 Kim Yam Road in 1939.The founding principal of the school was Zhuang Zhulin and the school's first school supervisor was war hero Lim Bo Seng.Aw Boon Haw was the founding chairman of the school management board. In 1940 Xie Rongxi took over as chairman of the management board. Students came from as far as Thailand and the Philippines. Following the Japanese occupation of Singapore in 1942, the school was forced to stop classes.
After the war, classes resumed and the school started enrolling female students. To support youths whose education was disrupted by war, he school started accepting students whose ages were older than the average. Mr Xie Rongxi was re-appointed as chairman of the management committee and Zhuang Zhulin was re-appointed the principal. The school achieved top honours among Singapore schools in the first national examination after the war.
In 1947, the School Management Board headed by Mr Lin Shi Wan, acquired a piece of land at Goodman Road for a new premise to cope the increasing student population. The new institution premise was named Chung Cheng High School (Main) while the premise at Kim Yam Road was renamed Chung Cheng High School (Branch) and function as a separate affiliated school.
