Tanjong Katong Secondary School gets founded in 1956 as Tanjong Katong Secondary Technical School, a pioneer technical school along Tanjong Katong Road. In the East, it was a popular choice for young men. In the 1960s, the institution began offering Pre-University studies and welcomed female students.
