Huynh Thuc Khang High School was originally from two schools: Quoc Hoc Vinh and Huynh Thuc Khang Specialized School. During the school's establishment, it changed its name several times, the first name being Quoc Hoc Vinh, established on September 1, 1920. In 1943, the school changed its name to Quoc Hoc Nguyen Cong Tru.

In 1947, Vinh National School separated a part and named it Huynh Thuc Khang Specialized School. Three years later, implementing the educational reform policy, Nguyen Cong Tru National School and Huynh Thuc Khang Specialized School merged and named Huynh Thuc Khang High School.
