Founded in 1918, Jit Sin High School (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Jit Sin; Chinese: 日新国民型中学) is a co-educational Chinese vernacular secondary school in Bukit Mertajam, Penang.
Jit Sin High School (JSHS) used to share the same compound with Jit Sin Independent High School at Aston Road. In 1992, Jit Sin High School moved to a purpose-built campus in Taman Sri Rambai. Students attend classes from Form 1 to Form 6, and they are organised into morning and afternoon sessions. Jit Sin High shares the same school anthem with Jit Sin Independent High School as well as its primary school counterparts, SJK(C) Jit Sin (A) & SJK(C) Jit Sin (B).
The school is known nationwide as a top elite school for its excellent academic results in public examinations such as Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR),Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) consistently every year. The school's success is largely attributed to its merit-based admission of students from primary vernacular education. The entry requirement is set at a maximum of 9 accumulative points scored in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) over 7 subjects, where an A constitutes to 1 point and E is 5 points, meaning that prospective students had to score straight As, or near-straight As, whomever ranked best, so as such until the intake for that particular academic year is full.
In October 2011, Jit Sin High School was awarded the title of Cluster School of Excellence (Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan), and is the first vernacular secondary school in Penang to achieve this premier status.
The school consists of two sub-schools, divided by form level. The sub-schools are:
