History

In 1969, the school rented some rooms from Nhan Van Private School (now Banh Van Tran Primary School) to conduct its first academic year 1969/1970. In the next academic year, 1970/1971, the school relocated to its present location due to the completion of the campus construction. The new campus was a two-storeyed building with 12 rooms.

In the academic year 1973-74, the school was renamed as Nguyễn Thượng Hiền School in honor of Nguyễn Thượng Hiền. However, twelve years later, the government decided to change the name to Nguyễn Văn Trỗi High School. Soon after, however, the school was renamed again as Nguyễn Thượng Hiền High School.
