History
Hwa Chong Junior College was founded in the year 1974. It was the first government-aided College to be established through the combined efforts of the Ministry of Education and a group of community leaders. The very first location of the college was in Bukit Timah. Then in the year 1987, the buildings at Bukit Timah was declared to be structurally unsound, the college was made to move from one temporary location to another. This moving of the college carried on for the rest of the year before it eventually stopped at Bukit Batok. After spending four years seven months there, it moved back to Bukit Timah, which was extensively rebuilt. With the generous funding and support from the Government, the alumni and well wishers, the college is now well-equipped with up-to-date facilities, ready to strive for excellence for the 21^st century and years beyond.
