The school started operation on the 1 December 1994 with 1001 students and 46 teachers. Due to infrastructure problems and lack of buildings, the students attended classes at a temporary school which was Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Taman Universiti 2 and Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Taman Sri Pulai with 644 and 349 students respectively. The first principal was En. Ahmad bin Atil.
In 1998, the school was recognised as an "A" grade school with 2837 students and 124 teachers. To reduce the number of students new schools were built, namely Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Universiti 2, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Mutiara Rini, and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Desa Skudai. As a result, in 2002 the number of students had decreased to 2161 pupils which gave a better student-teacher ratio.
Although the school started in 1994, it was officially opened ten years later in June 2004 by the Minister of Education, Dato' Hishammudin Tun Hussein.
