Holy Innocents' High School (Simplified Chinese:圣婴中学) is one of the earliest Catholic schools in Singapore. Founded in 1892, the school offers secondary school education leading up to a GCE O' Level certification, in both Express and Normal (Academic) streams, as well as GCE N' Level certification in the Normal (Technical) stream.
Holy Innocents' High School was founded as Tao Nan School in 1892, as one of the first Chinese Mission Schools to in Singapore. Bible studies and classical Chinese were taught. In 1920, the name of the school was changed from Tao Nan to Holy Innocents' Boy School. It means pure, wholesome and innocent. Between 1942 and 1945, Holy Innocents' Boys School was administered by the Japanese as Syonan School. In 1957, a two-storey building consisting of 12 classrooms was built at 7.25 miles off Upper Serangoon Road.
Holy Innocents' High School believe in nurturing its students as Good Samaritans in the community. In 2014, a group of students was reportedly lauded by members of the public removing debris from the middle of a busy road. The news story was carried on national broadsheet, The Straits Times. In 2012, a Secondary 4 girl shaved her waist-length hair and raised $1000 for cancer-stricken children. The school believes in Servant Leadership and this culture permeates all groups in the school, including students, staff and management.
From 1997, upper secondary boys wear long trousers. Lower secondary school boys continued to wear shorts. For both females and males alike, students wear a white top and light blue skirt or pants. Female students must wear white or skin-colored undergarments and may wear shorts under the skirts. The school has introduced a new uniform but the colours of white and blue remain unchanged.
