Peirce Secondary School started operating in 1994 on the premises of Bishan Park Secondary School. Mr Chia Choon Kiat was the school's first Principal.

It began with an intake of 356 Secondary 1 pupils. On 17 February 1995, the school moved to its current premises at 10 Sin Ming Walk.

 

From 2007 to 2008, the school embarked on an upgrading exercise (PRIME Phase 8) of its premises to include an Indoor Sports Hall and other facilities. The project was completed on schedule and the school returned to its home campus in December 2008.The school’s synthetic turf was completed and put to use in June 2011.  In 2014, we celebrated 20^th anniversary of the school.
