Teck Whye Secondary School (TWSS) was a co-educational government secondary school in Choa Chu Kang, Singapore. It was founded in 1966 and merged with Chua Chu Kang Secondary School in 2023.
In the days before English was the main medium of instruction, TWSS used to offer Chinese-medium and Malay-medium classes as well. The school itself was situated in Jalan Teck Whye for many of years, until it had been relocated to a new building in Teck Whye Crescent, 2002. Under the leadership of principal Adrian Cordeiro, the school revamped its school crest, school uniform and school song.
A new principal, Ong Kong Hong, took over at the end of 2009. At the start of January 2014, Edwin Chan, former vice principal of Crescent Girls' School, took over as principal when Ong Kong Hong took up the appointment of Cluster Superintendent at the Ministry of Education headquarters. In 2019, N. Sivarajan took over as principal.
The school merged with nearby Chua Chu Kang Secondary School in 2023. The merged school uses TWSS' campus. [1]

The romanisation of the Chinese language in Singapore is not dictated by a single policy, nor is its policy implementation consistent, as the local Chinese community is composed of a myriad of topolect groups. Although Hanyu Pinyin is adopted as the preferred romanisation system for Mandarin and the standard of Chinese education, the general lack of a romanisation standard for other Chinese varieties results in some level of inconsistency. This may be illustrated by the many variants for the same Chinese characters often found in surnames such as Low, Loh, Lo; Tay, Teh; Teo, Teoh; Yong, Yeong.
