HENG EE HIGH SCHOOL AND ITS MILESTONES
My former classmate found this article about SMJK Heng Ee in wikiweb.
Heng Ee High School
Heng Ee High School (SMJK Heng Ee in Malay, 恒 毅 中 学 in Chinese) is a Chinese conforming secondary school located in George Town, Penang.
The Founder
Heng Ee High School was founded by Belgian Roman Catholic priest Datuk Father Arthur A. Julien, from the Missions étrangères de Paris in 1957.
Father Julien arrived in Malaya in 1952. He served as parish priest of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows from 1961 to 1962, and as assistant parish priest to the Church of the Holy Spirit (now Cathedral of the Holy Spirit) with Father Paul Decroix between 1976 and 1985. Father Julien's work extended beyond the church. He conducted missionary work with the community in places like Batu Maung, Bayan Lepas and Sungai Dua, and also regularly visited the detainees in Pulau Jerejak. His ability to converse in Mandarin, and later Hokkien, endeared him to the local community.
Father Julien set up Heng Ee High School along Hamilton Road and Heng Ee Primary School within the grounds of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows along Macalister Road. His passing on 11 September 2004, brought mourners from all walks of life to his funeral.

School History
Date Event
1957 The original premises of Heng Ee High School was located on a piece of land leased from the Convent Primary School which was then owned by the Tamil Catholic Church. Heng Ee was initially a private school built for the purpose of helping the destitute and overage Chinese students to obtain a formal Chinese education.
1961 The Catholic Church spent RM125,000 on the purchase of six acres of land located between Hamilton Road and Free School Road to build Heng Ee High School.
1966 A permit from the Ministry of Education was obtained to build the school.
1967 Heng Ee High School began operations by borrowing seven classrooms from Heng Ee Primary School while waiting for the completion of the construction of its own building. There were 280 students enrolled at that instance.
Block A, the first block of the four-storey building was completed. Secondary school children studying at the borrowed classrooms of Heng Ee Primary School were then transferred to the newly constructed secondary school building in the month of September. In the same year, Heng Ee High School received a grant from the Government and was converted into a national type secondary school bearing the name of SMJK Heng Ee.

1987 The school saw a further increase in student enrollment. By then the student enrollment had reached 1800. The rapid increase in enrollment made the existing educational facilities inadequate. Further expansion became necessary to cater for the increasing enrollment. The School Board of Governors then decided to build another block of building to accommodate the increasing number of students. The planned development of the new block (Block E) soon got underway.
1990 The planned development of Block E materialised when the building was successfully completed and equipped with all necessary facilities.

1999 Student enrollment increased to 2300 and that prompted the Board of Governors to top-up another floor on Block E.

2003 Excellent academic achievements in the STPM examinations again prompted the Ministry of Education to approve the setting up of Form Six Humanities Classes.
The Guang Ming Award was bestowed upon the late Dato' Reverend Father Arthur Julien for his lifetime commitment in ensuring that the underprivileged Chinese students derived the full benefit of a Chinese education.
2004 The Lim Lean Gaik Award was bestowed upon the late Dato' Reverend Father Arthur Julien.
2005 The school received the Most Distinguished School Award in Cultural Stage Performance on the 18th of December 2005 during the 5th Malaysian Xin-Chuan Cultural Stage Performance Award held in Kuala Lumpur.

Heng Ee High School celebrated its Golden Jubilee on the 9th of September with much pomp and ceremony. A grand dinner was held in the school field to celebrate this special occasion.
2008 The Penang Municipal Council finally approved the sale of the two plots of land worth RM819,200 to Heng Ee High School to enable it to carry out its expansion project.
Heng Ee High School was awarded the School Excellence Award for the Co-Curricular Category by the Ministry of Education on the 4th of November 2008.

2010 Heng Ee High School hit a record enrollment of 3200 students, the highest in the school history. It has also put Heng Ee High School as the school with the second highest student enrollment in the state of Penang.
The construction of Bangunan Wawasan (Block F) was completed at the end of the year 2010. A milestone was set when three Form 4 students bagged three Gold Awards with their invention of FloodWarn, a flood-warning detector.
Another milestone was set in the month of July 2010 when Heng Ee High School's performing arts bodies brought glory to the school. The School Choir bagged a Gold Award and an International Friendship Award in the 10th China International Choir competition. The Chinese Cultural Dance Troupe bagged two Gold Awards in the 2010 China-Asean Youth Dance Interaction and Competition and the Harmonica Band won three Gold Medals and four Silver Medals in the Asia Pacific Harmonica Competition.

On the 9th of June 2011, the Chinese Orchestra was invited to a Cultural and Musical Exchange Programme at the Experimental School of Shanghai Conservatory of Music. While our Chinese Orchestra was in Shanghai, they also had a musical exchange session with the Nanjing Arts Institute.
On the 13th of June, the problem of floating classes for both Lower and Upper Six students was finally solved when the classes were finally moved to the newly built classrooms housed in Bangunan Wawasan.
On the 14th of July 2011, the School Choir ventured to Taiwan and took part in the Orientale Concentus 1V International Choral Festival which was organised by the Singapore Federation for Choral Music.
