Originally, the school was named SMJK (Inggeris) Serdang Bharu. The reason for the name is attributed to the government policy of changing English secondary schools to national schools, with Bahasa Melayu as the medium of language.

The school participated in a district-level TVPSS (TV Pusat Sumber Sekolah) tour held in 2023 at the Karangkraf Group Complex Auditorium.[9]

On March 26, 2023, it was reported that the school may have been damaged due to continuous flooding in Seri Kembangan.[10]
