, thus receiving the title 'High Performance School'. The school was chosen from among schools that showed outstanding performance in the field of academic, co-curricular activities and niche areas.

History

In the early 1970s, Section 14 was developed rapidly as a housing estate. Thus, as the population increased, the number of children attending secondary was also increasing. It was felt necessary to have a secondary school particularly a special school for girls.

At the time, secondary school girls had to attend Sekolah Menengah (P) Taman Petaling which was located quite a distance away from Section 14.

Due to the need that arises, the government had decided to open up a secondary school for the girls in Section 14.

At the beginning, the school was known as Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (Inggeris) Section 14. It was officially opened on 9 August 1971. 416 students were transferred to this school from Sekolah Menengah (P) Taman Petaling. Not only that, 13 teachers from the same school were also brought in. Another teacher was transferred from Sekolah Menengah Jalan Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Form 3 and Form 5 students were not transferred at the time because it was already the third term of the academic year for L.C.E and H.S.C of 1971.

The first principal, Cik Jeanette Lim Leong Huan, had played the main role in the identity of the school by creating the school badge with the enchanted phrase "Menuju ke Medan Jaya" and later was transformed to "Berusaha ke Medan Jaya". She had also decided to choose violet and yellow as the colours of the school.

Facilities

Among the numerous facilities available in S.M.K.(P) Sri Aman are the squash courts and tennis courts. The school has a total of three computer labs, two of which were built recently, in 2007. There is a swimming complex in the making, consisting of a half-Olympic-sized swimming pool, a set of dressing rooms for ladies, and another set of dressing rooms for men.

Houses

There are four sport houses in Sri Aman. The sports houses compete against each other on sports day. The Sri Aman Sports Day has been held since 1973. The houses were named after gemstones, which is:

• Ruby, red
• Sapphire, blue
• Emerald, green
• Topaz, yellow
