Tampines Secondary School
History
Tampines Secondary School opened in 1986. In its first year, classes functioned at Pasir Ris Secondary School as the school building was still under construction, and was later occupied by Tampines Junior College until December 1986. It was officially opened in 1988. In 2008, it shifted to a holding site in Bedok South Road and moved back to Tampines Street 12 in March 2010, under the Ministry of Education's PRIME upgrading programme.

The school crest consists of a 'T' and 'S', with the 'S' resembling a stream. The 'T' represents the school's name as well as the Tampines tree, and the 'S' represents the students who have just joined the school and are working their way towards success.
