Developments
Jit Sin High School (JSHS) used to share the same compound with Jit Sin Independent High School at Aston Road. In 1992, Jit Sin High School moved to a purpose-built campus in Taman Sri Rambai. Students attend classes from Form 1 to Form 6, they used to organise them into morning and afternoon sessions. Now, all forms have changed to morning session since the year 2020. Jit Sin High shares the same school anthem with Jit Sin Independent High School as well as its primary school counterparts, SJK(C) Jit Sin (A) & SJK(C) Jit Sin (B).
In October 2011, Jit Sin High School was awarded the title of Cluster School of Excellence (Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan), and is the first vernacular secondary school in Penang to achieve this premier status.
A new building due north to the original building was opened on 22 June 2019 for Form 5 and Form 6 students. The new building consists of 6 floors with 2 main elevators and 2 smaller elevators.
