Henderson Secondary School (Abbreviation: HSS) was a mixed/co-ed, single session, government school in Bukit Merah, Singapore. It was located at 100 Henderson Road, Singapore 159544. It was closed and merged with Bukit Merah Secondary School in 2017.

History

Henderson Secondary School was established in 1974 on Friendly Hill at Preston Road, headed by Gan Kee Soon.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}

In 1976, the new school compound, which cost more than S$2 million to build, was officially opened by the then-Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs Lim Guan Hoo.[1]

In the year 1994, the school shifted to a temporary holding campus in Queensway to make way for the rebuilding of the campus in Henderson Road. Three years later, the school held a homecoming event where all the students and the principal took a walk from the temporary school back to the new campus.[2]

In 2017, Henderson Secondary was merged into Bukit Merah Secondary due to reduced enrolment in both schools.[3]
