Penang Chinese High School (PCGHS) (simplified Chinese: 槟城槟华国民型中学; traditional Chinese: 檳城檳華國民型中學; pinyin: Bīnchéng bīnhuá guómínxíng zhōngxué; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pin-siâⁿ Pin-hôa Kok-bîn-hêng Tiong-o̍h; Malay: Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan China Pulau Pinang) is a secondary school in Penang, Malaysia. Often referred to as "Bin Hua" (Chinese: 檳華; pinyin: Bīn huá; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pin-hôa) among the local Chinese communityinPenang, the school provides continuous education, ranging from pre-primary or kindergarten to pre-university studies.
17 March 1919 Proposal by 4 prominent members of the Hokkien Community—Mr. Tan Sin Chen, Mr. Lim Lu Tek, Mr. Khor Sen Lee and Mr. Cheah Seng Tin, to establish a school for Chinese girls. This fact still stands as the number of non-Chinese among its enrolment and alumni is next to none. The proposal was unanimously approved and the Fukien Girls' School was established.[1] Originally, the school was intended to be opened on 15 January 1920, but was delayed due to a number of problems among which were the lack of teachers and pupils.
8 March 1920 Official opening of Fukien Girls' High School at Macalister Road.
11 March 1951 Fukien Girls' School was renamed as the Penang Chinese Girls' High School and the primary school was renamed as the Penang Chinese Girls' Primary School.
January 1956 The students attend their classes at the new school building at 2, Gottlieb Road
1962 The school accepted full government aid. As a consequence, the school was divided into 2 sections—a national-type school and an independent high school (for overaged pupils).
1963 A kindergarten was opened. Thus, the school now provides continuous education from kindergarten to school certificate. (UPSR for primary level, SPM for secondary level and STPM for pre-university level)
